Elucidation of relaxin-3 binding interactions in the extracellular loops of RXFP3
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!
© 2002 American Association for the Advancement of ScienceThe hormone relaxin is known to be important in pregnancy but its receptor has long remained elusive.

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