Background Information
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH, also known as Corticotropin-releasing factor, CRF) is a 41 amino acid peptide hormone and a key regulator of the stress response. CRH and the related urocortin peptides (UCN, UCN2 and UCN3) mediate their actions through two mammalian receptor subtypes, CRHR1 and CRHR2 (PMID: 23863939). CRHR1 (also known as CRFR1) exhibits high affinity towards CRH and UCN but low affinity towards UCN2 and no affinity towards UCN3 (PMID: 22684850). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. Widely distributed throughout the brain, CRHR1 critically controls behavioral adaptation to stress and is causally linked to emotional disorders (PMID: 21885734). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms of CRHR1.
