Elucidation of relaxin-3 binding interactions in the extracellular loops of RXFP3

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Relaxin-3 is a highly conserved neuropeptide in vertebrate species and binds to the Class A G protein-coupled receptor RXFP3. Relaxin-3 is involved in a wide range of behaviours, including feeding, stress responses, arousal and cognitive processes and ...

This Hormone Has Been Relaxin' Too Long!

open access: yes, 2002
© 2002 American Association for the Advancement of ScienceThe hormone relaxin is known to be important in pregnancy but its receptor has long remained elusive.

Relaxin family peptide receptors Rxfp1 and Rxfp2: mapping of the mRNA and protein distribution in the reproductive tract of the male rat

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2007
Background Relaxin is the endogenous ligand of the G-protein coupled receptor RXFP1, previously known as LGR7. In humans relaxin can also activate, but with lower affinity, the closely related receptor for the insulin-like peptide from Leydig cells ...

Relaxin-3/RXFP3 signalling in mouse hypothalamus: no effect of RXFP3 activation on corticosterone, despite reduced presynaptic excitatory input onto paraventricular CRH neurons in vitro

open access: yes, 2017
Relaxin-3/RXFP3 signalling is proposed to be involved in the neuromodulatory control of arousal- and stress-related neural circuits. Furthermore, previous studies in rats have led to the proposal that relaxin-3/RXFP3 signalling is associated with ...

Peptide hormone relaxin: from bench to bedside

open access: yes, 2018
The peptide hormone relaxin has numerous roles both within and independent of pregnancy and is often thought of as a “pleiotropic hormone.” Relaxin targets several tissues throughout the body, and has many functions associated with extracellular matrix ...

Relaxin-3/RXFP3 networks: an emerging target for the treatment of depression and other neuropsychiatric diseases?

open access: yes, 2014
Animal and clinical studies of gene-environment interactions have helped elucidate the mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of several mental illnesses including anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia; and have led to the discovery of improved ...

Relaxin-3 receptor (Rxfp3) gene deletion reduces operant sucrose- but not alcohol-responding in mice

open access: yes, 2015
The pervasive use of refined sugars in highly accessible, palatable foods and persistent exposure to reinforcing food-associated cues has contributed to overconsumption of sugar-rich diets and the current obesity epidemic in Western society.

Relaxin-3 receptor (RXFP3) signalling mediates stress-related alcohol preference in mice

open access: yes, 2015
Stressful life events are causally linked with alcohol use disorders (AUDs), providing support for a hypothesis that alcohol consumption is aimed at stress reduction. We have previously shown that expression of relaxin-3 mRNA in rat brain correlates with

Endometrial expression of relaxin and relaxin receptor in endometriosis

open access: yes, 2010
Our studies demonstrate significantly lower expression of relaxin and its receptor in ectopic endometriotic tissues than their expression in eutopic endometrium and in endometrium from normal controls.
