Mapping Cell Types and Efferent Pathways in the Ascending Relaxin-3 System of the Nucleus Incertus.
Title: Mapping Cell Types and Efferent Pathways in the Ascending Relaxin-3 System of the Nucleus Incertus.
Results indicate endogenous RLN3/RXFP3 signaling can modulate hippocampal-dependent spatial reference and working memory via effects on somatostatin interneurons, and further our knowledge of hippocampal cognitive processing
Title: Relaxin-3 inputs target hippocampal interneurons and deletion of hilar relaxin-3 receptors in "floxed-RXFP3" mice impairs spatial memory.
That endogenous relaxin-3-RXFP3 signalling is a powerful mediator of salt appetite in mice.
Title: Involvement of central relaxin-3 signalling in sodium (salt) appetite.
Relaxin-3 knockout mice exhibit mild anxiolytic characteristics relative to wild-type mice, suggesting that this peptide is involved in anxiety-related behavior.
Title: Behavioral analysis of relaxin-3 deficient mice.
Central injection of the RXFP3 agonists R3/I5 or H3 relaxin (0.5 nmol, icv) did not alter chow consumption in satiated mice relative to vehicle controls, during the 60 min after treatment.
Title: Pharmacological activation of RXFP3 is not orexigenic in C57BL/6J mice.
These preliminary studies suggest an interaction between relaxin-3 and ventrolateral preoptic galanin neurons that may contribute to the arousal-promoting action of relaxin-3.
Title: Potential hypothalamic targets of relaxin-3 innervation: a perspective.
These findings are consistent with an earlier report of increased activity scores in rats acutely injected centrally with R3/I5, and further suggest a role for relaxin-3/RXFP3 signalling in promoting behavioural arousal.
Title: Viral-mediated delivery of an RXFP3 agonist into brain promotes arousal in mice.
The present study compared the ability of relaxin-3 deficient (null mutation) and C57BL/6J wildtype littermate mice to entrain daily running wheel activity to timed food availability.
Title: Consequences of relaxin-3 null mutation in mice on food-entrainable arousal.
These studies support a role for relaxin-3 signaling in the control of arousal and sleep/wakefulness, and identify the relaxin-3 KO mouse as a useful model to study this role further.
Title: Relaxin-3 null mutation mice display a circadian hypoactivity phenotype.
Data provide evidence for the conserved nature of RLN3/RXFP3 systems in mammalian brain and the ability of RLN3/RXFP3 signaling to modulate "behavioral state" and an array of circuits involved in arousal, stress, affect, and cognition.
Title: Distribution of relaxin-3 and RXFP3 within arousal, stress, affective, and cognitive circuits of mouse brain.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
