Revisiting oxytocin generation in keratinocytes
Some evidence suggests that oxytocin, which is a neuropeptide conventionally thought to be synthesized in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary, is generated in peripheral keratinocytes, but the details are lacking and the mRNA analysis is further required. Oxytocin and neurophysi...
