CC -!- FUNCTION: Relaxin is an ovarian hormone that acts with estrogen to
CC produce dilatation of the birth canal in many mammals. May be involved
CC in remodeling of connective tissues during pregnancy, promoting growth
CC of pubic ligaments and ripening of the cervix.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of a B chain and an A chain linked by two
CC disulfide bonds.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the insulin family. {ECO:0000305}.
