Oxytocin Receptors and Mammary Myoepithelial Cells
Journal of Dairy Science, 1982 Abstract Oxytocin causes milk ejection by the mammary gland by eliciting contraction of myoepithelial cells, which surround the epithelial cells of the alveoli and the finer ducts (18). Most of the work reported here has been done with lactating rats. In this species expulsion of milk is almost entirely dependent upon the action of oxytocin (5, 15, 16)

Scientific ReportsOxytocin (Oxtr) and dopamine (Drd1, Drd2) receptors provide a canonical example for how differences in neuromodulatory receptors drive individual and species-level behavioral variation. These systems exhibit striking and functionally relevant differences

The evolution of oxytocin receptor signaling
Oxytocin is a neuromodulator and hormone that helps coordinate a variety of physiological and behavioral functions. Oxytocin exerts its diverse effects by binding to oxytocin receptors throughout the brain and the periphery, which initiates various signaling cascades. The location and distribution of oxytocin receptors can differ between species, which
