CCK-58 is an endogenous peptide fragment from the cholecystokinin precursor protein, but there is no affinity data available for this ligand at cholecystokinin receptors. For the rodent homologues of this peptide please see the following ligand entries: CCK-58 (mouse) and CCK-58 (rat). Gastrin-34 is one of the main forms of secreted gastrin present in the blood but there is no activity data for its interactions with this receptor. For the rodent homologues of this peptide please see gastrin-34 (mouse) and gastrin-34 (rat). Desulfated gastrin-14 (minigastrin) is an endogenous antagonist of cholecystokinin and radiolabelled analogues of this peptide are used as probes for this receptor. The gastrin precursor peptide is also cleaved into larger peptides gastrin-52 and gastrin-71.

RXFP1 RXFP1
Rxfp1
Rxfp1
Relaxin is the most potent endogenous agonist and is the cognate ligand for RXFP1. There is cross reactivity between relaxin family peptides and their receptors: relaxin binds to and activates RXFP1 and RXFP2 and is a biased agonist at RXFP3; relaxin-3 binds to and activates RXFP1, RXFP3 and RXFP4.

INSL3 is the most potent endogenous agonist. Although human relaxin and relaxin-1 have high affinity for RXFP2 they are unlikely to interact with the receptor physiologically.

Rxfp3
Relaxin-3 is a potent endogenous agonist for RXFP3. Unlike other relaxins, the relaxin-3 (B) chain has some bioactivity. Relaxin is a biased agonist at RXFP3. Neither relaxin-3 (B) chain or relaxin are known to act on RXFP3 in vivo.
