Product details
The Human Relaxin 1 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (ab213820) is designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Relaxin 1 in cell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (heparin).
The ELISA kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for Relaxin 1 has been pre-coated onto 96-well plates. Standards (E.coli, R162-Cys185(A) and K26-S53(B)) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for Relaxin 1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human Relaxin 1 amount of sample captured in plate.
Relaxin 1 is a member of relaxin-like peptide family. Relaxin gene maps to human chromosome 19 near D19Mit23. Relaxin is a peptide hormone produced by the corpora lutea of ovaries during pregnancy in many mammalian species, including man. Relaxin widens the pubic bone and facilitates labor, it also softens the cervix (cervical ripening), and relaxes the uterine musculature. However, its significance may reach much further. Relaxin affects collagen metabolism, inhibiting collagen synthesis and enhancing its breakdown by increasing matrix metalloproteinases. It also enhances angiogenesis and is a potent renal vasodilator.

Biological function summary
The hormone influences reproductive processes through its action on tissues affecting aspects like collagen remodeling and vasodilation. It does not form part of a complex but interacts with receptors such as RXFP1 which are G-protein-coupled receptors. The binding of Relaxin 1 to RXFP1 receptors activates several downstream signaling pathways that facilitate its biological functions.
Pathways
The role of Relaxin 1 extends beyond reproductive functions. It is involved in the extracellular matrix pathway and can influence the nitric oxide signaling pathway which impacts vascular relaxation and blood flow. Relaxin 1 related proteins include RXFP1 and its family member Relaxin 2 which can bind to the same receptor and trigger similar effects.
