Insulin-like peptides

Relaxin 1

Relaxin 1 may function in regulating blood pressure, controlling heart rate, and releasing oxytocin and vasopressin

Relaxin 2

Of the three known relaxin genes, Relaxin-2 (RLN2) is the only relaxin known to circulate in the blood. Relaxin-2 binds specifically to the LGR7 (leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 7) and LGR8 receptors.  Relaxin-2 also participates in cancer progression. In prostate cancer, it is responsible for tumor growth and vascularisation. Relaxin-2 is also linked with anti-fibrotic and cardioprotective effects.

Relaxin 3

May play a role in neuropeptide signaling processes. Ligand for LGR7, relaxin-3 receptor-1 (GPCR135) and relaxin-3 receptor-2 (GPCR142).

 

INSLULIN (Human)

Chemically  synthesized  insulin.

INSL 1

Two-chain IGF-1 completely lacking a C-region.

INSL 2

Two-chain IGF-2 completely lacking a C-region.

 

INSL 3

Seems to play a role in testicular function. May be a trophic hormone with a role in testicular descent in fetal life. Is a ligand for LGR8 receptor.

INSL 4

May play an important role in trophoblast development and in the regulation of bone formation.

INSL 5

May have a role in gut contractility or in thymic development and regulation. Activates RXFP4 with high potency and appears to be the endogenous ligand for this receptor.

INSL 5A _ REL 3B

Hybrid molecule consisting of an A-chain INSL5 and a B-chain Relaxin 3.

INSL 6

May have a role in sperm development and fertilization.

 

Bombyxin A6

Brain peptide responsible for activation of prothoracic glands to produce ecdysone in insects.
