RLN2

  • Official Full Name

    relaxin 2

  • Overview

    Relaxins are known endocrine and autocrine/paracrine hormones, belonging to the insulin gene superfamily. In the human there are three non-allelic relaxin genes, RLN1, RLN2 and RLN3. RLN1 and RLN2 share high sequence homology. The active form of the encoded protein consists of an A chain and a B chain but their cleavage sites are not definitely described yet. Relaxin is produced by the ovary, and targets the mammalian reproductive system to ripen the cervix, elongate the pubic symphysis and inhibit uterine contraction. It may have additional roles in enhancing sperm motility, regulating blood pressure, controlling heart rate and releasing oxytocin and vasopressin. There are two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms described for this gene.

Q&As (5)

Ask a question
What are the molecular mechanisms by which RLN-2 induces vasodilation in blood vessels? 02/26/2022

RLN-2 induces vasodilation by activating nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathways, promoting smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow.

How does RLN-2 interact with the immune system, and what are its immunomodulatory effects? 01/30/2021

RLN-2 has immunomodulatory effects, influencing cytokine production, immune cell migration, and contributing to the regulation of inflammatory responses.

Can you elaborate on the molecular basis of RLN-2's anti-fibrotic effects in various tissues? 09/01/2020

RLN-2 exerts anti-fibrotic effects by inhibiting myofibroblast differentiation, reducing collagen deposition, and modulating fibrotic signaling pathways.

How does RLN-2 influence collagen synthesis and degradation in connective tissues? 06/09/2019

RLN-2 inhibits collagen synthesis and enhances collagen degradation by modulating the activity of enzymes involved in collagen turnover.

How does RLN-2 influence extracellular matrix remodeling, and what enzymes are involved in this process? 07/24/2018

RLN-2 promotes extracellular matrix remodeling by upregulating matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and inhibiting tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).
