Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** INSL5 is a small, C-terminal extension of the insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) family, which is characterized by its unique structure and high sequence homology with other insulin-like peptides. The gene encoding INSL5 is widely expressed in various tissues, including the brain, immune cells, and epithelial cells of the small intestine. INSL5 is primarily produced by T cells, plasma cells, and goblet cells, suggesting its involvement in the regulation of immune responses and mucosal homeostasis. The peptide's ligand-binding properties and its interaction with specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been identified as key determinants of its biological activity. **Pathways and Functions:** The biological activity of INSL5 is mediated through its interaction with specific GPCRs, including the relaxin receptor and the G protein-coupled receptor 43 (GPR43). The binding of INSL5 to these receptors triggers a cascade of signaling events, including the activation of Gαi proteins, which in turn modulate various downstream pathways. These pathways include the regulation of feeding behavior, immune response, and vascular function. INSL5 has been shown to stimulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by T cells and B cells, while also modulating the expression of genes involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. **Clinical Significance:** The identification of INSL5 as a key regulator of feeding behavior and immune response has significant implications for the treatment of metabolic and immune disorders. Dysregulation of INSL5 signaling has been implicated in various diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. Potential therapeutic strategies targeting INSL5 include the development of specific agonists or antagonists that modulate its biological activity. Furthermore, INSL5 may serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis and monitoring of these disorders, providing valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of disease. In conclusion, INSL5 is a complex peptide hormone that plays a critical role in regulating feeding behavior and immune response. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying its biological activity and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of metabolic and immune disorders.
