DNA methylation of specific CpG sites in the promoter region regulates the transcription of the mouse oxytocin receptor.
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone, well known for its role in labor and suckling, and most recently for its involvement in mammalian social behavior. All central and peripheral actions of oxytocin are mediated through the oxytocin receptor, which is the product of a single gene. Transcription of the oxy...
