Description
Relaxin-3 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a disulfide-linked heterodimeric, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 24 amino acids for A chain and 27 amino acids for B chain and having a molecular mass of 2.5kDa for A chain and 3kDa for B chain. The Relaxin-3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
Relaxin 3, Prorelaxin H3, RXN3, Insl7, ZINS4, H3, Relaxin 3 (H3), Relaxin-3, RLN3.
Introduction
Relaxin-3 (RLN3) belongs to the relaxin family. Relaxins are endocrine and autocrine/paracrine hormones. Relaxin, which is produced by the ovary, targets the mammalian reproductive system to ripen the cervix, elongate the pubic symphysis and inhibit uterine contraction. Unlike human Relaxins 1 and 2, Relaxin 3 does not seem to have a role in reproduction; however it is involved in stress response in the brain stem. RLN3 is the only known ligand for the G-protein-coupled receptor GPCR135, titled RXFP3. In addition, RLN3 binds the LGR7 (RXFP1) receptor, however with lower affinity than Relaxin-2. Even though binding of RLN3 to LGR7 increases intracellular cAMP, binding to GPCR135 suppresses cAMP accumulation, indicating coupling to Gi, Go, or Gz by this receptor.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution in Acetonitrile and TFA.
Stability
Lyophilized RLN3 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Relaxin-3 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Amino acid sequence
A chain: DVLAGLSSSC CKWGCSKSEI SSLC. B chain: RAAPYGVRLCG REFIRAVIFT CGGSRW.
