Oxytocin is one of the two major hormones secreted from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. he posterior pituitary itself largely comprises endings of nerves whose cell bodies lie in the brain in the hypothalamus. Oxytocin is a relatively small peptide hormone, composed of only 9 amino acids. It is synthesized in nerve cells in the hypothalamus in the form of a larger, precursor molecule, which is transported down the nerve fibres through the pituitary stalk to the posterior lobe. The active hormone is cleaved from the precursor during this process.
