Molecular Mechanisms of Oxytocin Signaling at the Synaptic Connection

<div>Presynaptic G protein-coupled oxytocin receptors modulate neurotransmitter release. OXTR: Oxytocin receptor; VDCC: voltage-dependent calcium channels; PIP<sub>2</sub>: phosphatidylinositol biphosphate; IP<sub>3</sub>: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate; DAG: diacylglycerol; GABA: <i>γ</i>-aminobutyric acid receptor.</div>
