Relaxin 2 Antibody (fred): sc-57427

Relaxin 2 Antibody (fred) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Relaxin 2 in human samples through applications such as flow cytometry (FCM) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Relaxin 2 is a crucial peptide hormone primarily produced in the ovary during pregnancy, playing a significant role in reproductive physiology. Anti-Relaxin 2 antibody (fred) is essential for studying the remodeling of the reproductive tract, particularly in softening the cervix and pubic symphysis, which facilitates childbirth. Relaxin 2 is synthesized as a precursor that undergoes post-translational modifications, including cleavage and disulfide bond formation, to yield the active form of the hormone. These modifications are vital as they influence the stability and activity of Relaxin 2, ensuring proper function during pregnancy. The gene encoding human Relaxin 2 is located on chromosome 9, and expression is tightly regulated, particularly during gestation. Additionally, Relaxin 2 shares structural similarities with Relaxin 1, which is also involved in reproductive processes, highlighting the importance of this protein family in mammalian reproduction. Relaxin 2 monoclonal antibody (fred) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying the dynamics of pregnancy and the hormonal regulation of reproductive tissues.
