About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for RLN3: Relaxins are known endocrine and autocrine/paracrine hormones, belonging to the insulin gene superfamily. In the humanthere are three non-allelic relaxin genes, RLN1, RLN2 and RLN3. RLN1 and RLN2 share high sequence homology. Relaxin isproduced by the ovary, and targets the mammalian reproductive system to ripen the cervix, elongate the pubic symphysisand inhibit uterine contraction. It may have additional roles in enhancing sperm motility, regulating blood pressure,controlling heart rate and releasing oxytocin and vasopressin. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of therelaxin family. The active form of the encoded protein consists of an A chain and a B chain but their cleavage sitesare not definitely described yet. It may play a role in neuropeptide signaling processes. (provided by RefSeq, Jul2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: REL3_HUMAN, Q8WXF3Function: May play a role in neuropeptide signaling processes. Ligand for LGR7, relaxin-3 receptor-1 (GPCR135) andrelaxin-3 receptor-2 (GPCR142)
