Precautions | RLN3 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | mt-cyb |
---|---|
Synonyms | cob, cytb, mtcyb |
Function | Component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex) that is part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The b-c1 complex mediates electron transfer from ubiquinol to cytochrome c. Contributes to the generation of a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane that is then used for ATP synthesis. |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion inner membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00157}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00157} |

Background
Relaxin-3 (RLN3) is a member of Relaxin family, a group of endocrine and autocrine/paracrine hormones that belong to the insulin gene superfamily (1,2). RLN3 can bind to and activate three relaxin-family peptide receptors: RXFP1, RXFP3, and RXFP4 (3). In contrast to the widespread expression of the related proteins RLN1 and RLN2, RLN3 is predominantly expressed in brain and to a lesser extent in the thymus, kidney and spleen (1). RLN3 has been suggested to play a role in feeding, metabolism, stress, arousal, learning, and memory (4).
