Study shows that relaxin-3 regulates corticotropin-releasing factor gene expression in cultured rat hypothalamic 4B cells. Results suggest that the action of relaxin-3 in cultured hypothalamic 4B cells may be regulated through both RXFP1 and RXFP3.

Data suggest activation of the nucleus incertus relaxin-3 system is associated with expression of behavior in tests of anxiety, but may not be directly involved in the approach-avoidance conflict inherent in anxiety-related defensive behavior in rodents.

Relaxin-1 mRNA in the hearts of diabetic rats was significantly increased and that relaxin-3 mRNA expression at different time points was decreased. In addition, significant down-regulation of the mRNA expression of RXFP1 and RXFP3 was observed at 4 weeks after Streptozocin.

Relaxin-3/RXFP3 signaling within the central amygdala contributes to yohimbine-induced reinstatement of alcohol seeking. We therefore suggest that the relaxin-3/RXFP3 system represents a legitimate potential target for the treatment of both anxiety and substance use disorders.

Study demonstrates that female rats are more sensitive to the effects of chronic i.c.v. infusion of relaxin-3 (RLN3) on body weight, fat mass and food intake compared to male rats. Female RLN3-infused rats displayed higher body weight gain and perigonadal fat mass and more sustained hyperphagia than male rats during 14 days of treatment.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
