RXFP1 is targeted by complement C1q Tumor Necrosis Factor-related factor 8 (CTRP8) in brain cancer

The relaxin-like - RXFP1 ligand-receptor system has important functions in tumor growth and tissue invasion. Recently, we have identified the secreted protein, CTRP8, a member of the C1q/ Tumor Necrosis Factor-related protein (CTRP) family, as a novel ligand of the relaxin receptor RXFP1 with functi...
