RELM-β, Species: Human, 5UG

Resistin-like molecule-β (RELM-β) is a member of the RELM-family of secreted proteins containing conserved C-terminus cysteines. The RELM-family consists of resistin (FIZZ3), RELM-α (FIZZ1), RELM-β (FIZZ2), and RELM-γ (FIZZ4). Resistin and RELM-β are the only RELM-family members found in humans, whereas all four RELM-family members are present in rodents. RELM-β functions to increase fibroblast proliferation and differentiation, resulting in airway remodelling and increased inflammation.
