[Arg8]-Vasotocin (TFA) is a vertebrate neurohypophyseal peptide of the vasopressin/oxytocin hormone family[1].
[Arg8]-Vasotocin occurs throughout the vertebrate phyla, being present in primitive fish, the cyclostomes, and remaining unchanged in vertebrates up to and including birds[1].
[Arg8]-Vasotocin excites neurones in the dorsal vagal complex in vitro[2].
