1REL
1REL, also known as the gene for relaxin-like peptide 1, is a human gene that encodes a secreted peptide hormone. This hormone belongs to the relaxin-like peptide family, which are structurally related to insulin. The gene is located on chromosome 1, specifically at position 1q23.3. The protein produced by 1REL is thought to play a role in various physiological processes, although its exact functions are still being investigated.
Research has indicated potential involvement of 1REL in cardiovascular regulation, reproductive functions, and bone metabolism. It
