Facts about Relaxin receptor 1.
Receptor for relaxins.
The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins leading to stimulation of adenylate cyclase and an increase of cAMP.Binding of the ligand may also trigger a tyrosine kinase pathway that inhibits the action of a phosphodiesterase that degrades cAMP. .
