Relaxin is a peptide hormone produced by the corpora lutea of ovaries during pregnancy,
softening and lengthening the ligaments of the pelvis and softening the cervix in order to …

In this report we describe the purification and characterization of recombinant porcine
prorelaxin expressed in Escherichia coli. Nucleotide sequence encoding porcine prorelaxin …

Using an extraction procedure that minimized proteolysis, followed by gel filtration, cation-
exchange FPLC, and reverse-phase HPLC, the present study unambiguously showed the …

Three highly purified preparations of relaxin have been obtained from sow ovaries by
extraction with acid-acetone followed by fractionation with Sephadex G-50 and ion …

Relaxin is a two-chain 6-kDa peptide hormone. It is a member of the insulin family of
peptides and is produced mainly during pregnancy to prepare the reproductive tract for birth …

Relaxin is a peptide hormone which consists of two polypeptide chains that are synthesized
as a B-chain/C-peptide/A-chain precursor. We have used the polymerase chain reaction …

Relaxin was isolated from corpora lutea of third trimester pregnant cows. Fractions having
relaxin activity eluted in the 6000 and 1400 molecular weight ranges when …

Employing uteroplacental tissue at Day 35 of gestation, we determined the nucleic acid
sequence of canine preprorelaxin using reverse transcription-and rapid amplification of …

Relaxin is a polypeptide hormone that has a variety of physiological effects both on
remodelling of collagen and on uterine contractility. These are most apparent during …
