Overview

Single-chain mimetic peptide of human relaxin-2, designed to selectively activate the RXFP1 receptor. Unlike native relaxin-2 which has a two-chain structure, B7-33 consists of a single chain derived from the B-chain of relaxin, simplifying production while maintaining anti-fibrotic and vasodilatory biological activity.

Mechanism of Action

  • Selective agonism of the RXFP1 receptor (relaxin family peptide receptor 1)
  • Anti-fibrotic effect via inhibition of collagen deposition and extracellular matrix remodeling
  • Vasodilation mediated by nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin
  • Reduction of tissue inflammation and fibrosis in target organs
  • Modulation of TGF-β signaling and pro-fibrotic pathways
