Metal Modulation of Oxytocin Structure, Function, and Receptor Interactions

, and other metals influence oxytocin's conformational landscape and receptor interactions through distinct coordination modes. We highlight emerging applications in biosensor development and therapeutic formulation that leverage these metal-binding properties. Advancing our understanding of metal-mediated modulation of oxytocin function will enhance our knowledge of peptide hormone regulation and provide new avenues for therapeutic intervention in conditions involving dysregulated oxytocin signaling.
