Insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3), previously known as the relaxin-like factor (RLF), is a major peptide hormone secreted from the testicular Leydig cells of adult men and circulating in the blood at a concentration of approximately 1 ng/mL. Women also p... Read More about Insulin-like factor 3: Where are we now?.

Relaxin Signaling from Natural Receptors (2005)
Journal Article
Ivell, R., Anand-Ivell, R., & Bartsch, O. (2005). Relaxin Signaling from Natural Receptors. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1041(1), 280-287. https://doi.org/10.1196/annals.1282.041

The heterodimeric peptide hormone relaxin in most cells appears to signal through a G-protein-coupled receptor, LGR7. Whereas in artificial cell systems, made by transfection of receptor-expressing gene constructs into cells normally not presenting t... Read More about Relaxin Signaling from Natural Receptors.
