Biological Functions
Oxytocin is a cyclic 9-peptide that, like somatostatin, contains a ring that encompasses a
disulfide bridge. Oxytocin has uterotonic action, contracting the muscles of the
uterus during gestation, and plays an important role in milk ejection (not milk secretion, which is
regulated by the peptide hormone prolactin) from the mammary ducts into the nipples.
Exogenous oxytocin most commonly is used for induction of labor, wherein it improves uterine
contractions to achieve early vaginal delivery for fetal or maternal reasons (e.g., preeclampsia,
Rh factor problems, pregnancy that has exceeded 42 weeks). It also finds use following delivery
of the placenta, because it promotes contraction and vasoconstriction and helps to control
postpartum bleeding.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 24346-32-5 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 2,4,3,4 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 2 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 24346-32:
(7*2)+(6*4)+(5*3)+(4*4)+(3*6)+(2*3)+(1*2)=95
95 % 10 = 5
So 24346-32-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
