Relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 2, also known as RXFP2, is a human
G-protein coupled receptor.
The receptors for
glycoprotein hormones such as
follicle-stimulating hormone
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone. FSH is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland and regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, an ...
(FSH; see MIM 136530) and
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; see MIM 188540) are
G protein-coupled, 7-transmembrane receptors (GPCRs) with large N-terminal extracellular domains.
Leucine-rich repeat
A leucine-rich repeat (LRR) is a protein structural motif that forms an α/β horseshoe fold. It is composed of repeating 20–30 amino acid stretches that are unusually rich in the hydrophobic amino acid leucine. These tandem repeats common ...
(LRR)-containing GPCRs (LGRs) form a subgroup of the GPCR superfamily.
