Background

Relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 2, also known as RXFP2, is a human G-protein coupled receptor. It is mapped to 13q13.1. This gene encodes a member of the GPCR (G protein-coupled, 7-transmembrane receptor) family. Mutations in this gene are associated with cryptorchidism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Synonyms

Relaxin receptor 2; G-protein coupled receptor 106; G-protein coupled receptor affecting testicular descent; Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 8; Relaxin family peptide receptor 2; RXFP2; GPR106; GREAT; LGR8

Flow Cytometry, WB

Field of Research

Endocrine System, G Protein Signaling, More Gpcr, Neuroscience, Neurotransmission, Receptors / Channels, Signal Transduction, Signaling Pathway

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Receptor for relaxin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins leading to stimulation of adenylate cyclase and an increase of cAMP. May also be a receptor for Leydig insulin-like peptide (INSL3) .
