Cloning of Two Novel Mammalian Paralogs of Relaxin/Insulin Family Proteins and Their Expression in Testis and Kidney

1 Dec 1999

Abstract excerpt

Based on sequence homology to insulin and relaxin, we have isolated two novel genes of the insulin superfamily from mouse tissues. Because these proteins show a high similarity to relaxin and relaxin-like factor (RLF or Ley I-L), they were named as RIF1 (relaxin/insulin-like factor 1) and RIF2 (relaxin/insulin-like factor 2). After RT-PCR, full-length cDNAs of RIF1 and RIF2 were obtained from mouse testis and...
