This study investigated the possibility of the presence of specific receptor for relaxin-like factor (RLF)/insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) in boar testes. While RLF/INSL3 was produced by Leydig cells in the boar testis, its own receptor RXFP2 was expressed mainly in meiotic and post-meiotic germ cells, but not in Leydig cells, suggesting the existence of RLF/INSL3-RXFP2 signaling in germ cells of boars.
本研究调查了在公猪睾丸中存在松弛素样因子(RLF)/胰岛素样肽3(INSL3)特异性受体的可能性。虽然RLF/INSL3由公猪睾丸中的睾丸间质细胞产生,但其自身受体RXFP2主要在减数分裂期和减数分裂后生殖细胞中表达,而不在睾丸间质细胞中表达,这表明在公猪生殖细胞中存在RLF/INSL3-RXFP2信号通路。
