B7-33 (6mg)

B7-33 is a soluble synthetic single-chain peptide obtained from the larger, naturally occurring protein H2-relaxin (Relaxin), which is considered to induce pleiotropic actions impacting the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, and reproduction.^[1] B7-33 appears to retain the anti-fibrotic properties of Relaxin without enhancing cAMP production, it may also stimulate ERK1/2 phosphorylation and promote matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) expression and the degradation of extracellular collagen. The Relaxin family of peptides has four endogenous receptors divided into two pairs (RXFP1/2 and RXFP3/4).^[2] The Relaxin receptors appear to be stimulated by cAMP, orexin, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), several insulin-like peptides, and GLP-1. The agonists have been observed to exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and tissue-repairing characteristics.
