Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Name | RLN2 |
|---|---|
| Function | Relaxin is an ovarian hormone that acts with estrogen to produce dilatation of the birth canal in many mammals. May be involved in remodeling of connective tissues during pregnancy, promoting growth of pubic ligaments and ripening of the cervix. |
| Cellular Location | Secreted. |
| Tissue Location | Isoform 1 is expressed in the ovary during pregnancy. Also expressed in placenta, decidua and prostate. Isoform 2 is relatively abundant in placenta. It is in much lower abundance in the prostate gland. Not detected in the ovary |

Background
Relaxins are known endocrine and autocrine/paracrinehormones, belonging to the insulin gene superfamily. In the humanthere are three non-allelic relaxin genes, RLN1, RLN2 and RLN3.RLN1 and RLN2 share high sequence homology. The active form of theencoded protein consists of an A chain and a B chain but theircleavage sites are not definitely described yet. Relaxin isproduced by the ovary, and targets the mammalian reproductivesystem to ripen the cervix, elongate the pubic symphysis andinhibit uterine contraction. It may have additional roles inenhancing sperm motility, regulating blood pressure, controllingheart rate and releasing oxytocin and vasopressin. There are twoalternatively spliced transcript variants encoding differentisoforms described for this gene.
