Abstract excerpt
Both relaxin-3 and its receptor (RXFP3, also known as GPCR135) are predominantly expressed in brain regions known to play important roles in processing sensory signals. Recent studies have shown that relaxin-3 is involved in the regulation of stress and feeding behaviors. The mechanisms underlying the involvement of relaxin-3/RXFP3 in the regulation of stress, feeding, and other potential functions remain to be...
