PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	N-terminus and extracellular loop 2 domains of RXFP3 and RXFP4 are involved in ligand binding while TM2, 3, and 5 are critical for receptor activation
	seven transmembrane domains
	two putative N-glycosylation sites
	C-terminal SER or THR residues may be phosphorylated

conjugated

GlycoP

HOMOLOGY

ortholog to murine Rln3r1

Homologene

FAMILY

G protein coupled receptor 1 family

CATEGORY

receptor membrane G

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	binding of the ligand relaxin 3 inhibits cAMP accumulation
	receptor for angiotensin II, mediating its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol- calcium second messenger system

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

hormonal , signal transduction

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	binding to relaxin 3
	RLN3 is thought to act in the brain via the RXFP3 receptor, although the RXFP1 receptor may also play a role
