Function

Receptor for relaxins. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins leading to stimulation of adenylate cyclase and an increase of cAMP. Binding of the ligand may also activate a tyrosine kinase pathway that inhibits the activity of a phosphodiesterase that degrades cAMP.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in the brain, kidney, testis, placenta, uterus, ovary, adrenal, prostate, skin and heart. Not detected in spleen.

Cellular localization

  • Cell membrane
  • Multi-pass membrane protein
