CC   -!- FUNCTION: May play a role in neuropeptide signaling processes. Ligand
CC       for LGR7, relaxin-3 receptor-1 and relaxin-3 receptor-2 (By
CC       similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of a B chain and an A chain linked by two
CC       disulfide bonds.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly abundant expression is detected in neurons
CC       within the ventomedial dorsal tegmental nucleus and the laterally
CC       central gray alpha of the pons. Also detected at much lower levels
CC       within the hippocampus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12354304}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the insulin family. {ECO:0000305}.
