Brief description The peptide hormone relaxin is currently in clinical trials to treat acute heart failure. The related hormone INSL3 has important roles in fertility. We will continue our previously successful approaches to study the interaction of relaxin and INSL3 with their cell surface receptors and the mechanisms by which the receptors function. The knowledge gained will aid in the design of smaller, more potent and orally active forms of relaxin and INSL3 for future clinical applications.
