INSL6 (Insulin-Like 6) is a Protein Coding gene. An important paralog of this gene is RLN1. The protein encoded by this gene contains a classical signature of the insulin superfamily and is significantly similar to relaxin and relaxin-like factor. INSL6 is a newly identified insulin/relaxin family peptide hormone that is predominantly expressed by the male germ cells in testes. It may have a role in sperm development and fertilization. A recent murine study demonstrated that INSL6-knockout results in spermatogenic failure. Human and rat INSL6 encoded polypeptides of 213 and 188 amino acids, respectively. Diseases associated with INSL6 include Thrombocythemia 3 and Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Acute, With Lymphomatous Features.
