研究背景
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.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009],caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-18 is the initiator.,disease:Defects in RXFP2 are a cause of cryptorchidism [MIM:219050]; also known as impaired testicular descent. It is one of the most frequent congenital abnormalities in humans, involving 2-5% of male births. Cryptorchidism is associated with increased risk of infertility and testicular cancer.,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).,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,similarity:Contains 1 LDL-receptor class A domain.,similarity:Contains 10 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.,tissue specificity:Expressed mainly in the brain, kidney, muscle, testis, thyroid, uterus, peripheral blood cells and bone marrow.,
