Activation of the RXFP1 Relaxin Receptor By Diverse Agonists

  • RXFP1 is a GPCR involved in cardiovascular and renal adaptation to pregnancy
  • Using Cryo-EM, we determined the structure of this receptor bound to native relaxin hormone as well as the small molecule drug candidate AZD5462
  • The two ligands bind different surfaces on the receptor and induce divergent signaling outputs
