关于 RLN3

功能概要

该基因编码胰岛素样激素松弛素家族的一个成员，该家族主要在大脑中表达，并在压力、记忆和食欲调节等生理过程中发挥作用。编码的蛋白质是一种前体，经过蛋白水解处理后可生成由二硫键互连的 A 链和 B 链组成的异二聚体成熟形式。可变剪接导致编码不同异构体的多个转录变体。[RefSeq 提供，2015 年 7 月]

This gene encodes a member of the relaxin family of insulin-like Hormones that is expressed predominantly in the brain and plays a role in physiological processes such as stress, memory and appetite regulation. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate a heterodimeric mature form consisting A and B chains interlinked by disulfide bonds. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
