Relaxin H2 is the major stored and circulating isoform of the peptide hormone relaxin in humans. This pregnancy hormone has also shown cardioprotective activity. The observed long-term effects of relaxin H2 on connective tissues may be due to alterations in the turnover of collagen and proteoglycans.
