The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Summary
Relaxin is a peptide that is involved in the regulation of the birth process. It has considerable promise as an anti-fibrotic agent. Recently, another relaxin-like peptide, relaxin-3, was identified and shown to be brain-specific. It modulates the stress response and appetite. Both relaxins act upon different receptors to elicit their biological effects. To exploit their clinical potential, we will determine how these peptides selectively bind and ativate their individual receptors.
