Gene Information

human ... AVPR1A(552), OXTR(5021)
rat ... Oxtr(25342)

Application

Atosiban has been used:
  • as an oxytocin receptor antagonist
  • in the calcium mobilization assay for Z factor determination in uterine myometrium (UT-myo cells) and as a therapeutic agent to inhibit preterm labor
  • to inhibit the activation of oxytocin-receptor-expressing neurons in the parabrachial nucleus of mice (OxtrPBN)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Atosiban efficiently prevent preterm uterine contractions without any major cardiovascular, pulmonary or central nervous system side effects. It has potential to treat preterm labour.
Atosiban is a peptide oxytocin receptor antagonist.
