NIH Websites Are Changing
Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

relaxin mimetic AZD5462

A mimetic of the endogenous heterodimeric insulin-like peptide relaxin, with potential vasodilating, cardioprotective and anti-fibrotic activities. Upon administration, relaxin mimetic AZD5462 mimics relaxin and may bind to relaxin receptor 1 (relaxin family peptide receptor 1; RXFP1). This may activate multiple relaxin-mediated signaling pathways and result in vasodilation, and anti-fibrotic and cardioprotective effects.
