Supplementary information

Relaxin 1 also known as RLN1 is a peptide hormone that plays a role in reproductive biology. It has a mass of approximately 6 kilodaltons. Relaxin 1 is expressed in various tissues mainly the reproductive system including the ovaries placenta and uterus. It modulates connective tissue remodeling which is important during childbirth by helping to relax the pelvic ligaments. Additionally it has effects on the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
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.

Relaxin 1 has a connection to fibrotic diseases and cardiovascular conditions. It exhibits antifibrotic properties reducing tissue scarring in organs like the skin and lungs. In cardiovascular diseases Relaxin 1 can help improve heart functions through its vasorelaxation effects. In these disease contexts Relaxin 1 interacts with proteins involved in the extracellular matrix and nitric oxide pathways to mediate its impact.

Target data

Relaxin is an ovarian hormone that acts with estrogen to produce dilatation of the birth canal in many mammals. May be involved in remodeling of connective tissues during pregnancy, promoting growth of pubic ligaments and ripening of the cervix.
