corticotropin-releasing factor receptor

Human growth hormone-releasing factor acetate is a hypothalamic polypeptide and stimulates GH production and release by binding to the GHRH Receptor (GHRHR) on cells in the anterior pituitary[1].

Corticotropin-releasing factor (human) acetate stimulates to synthesize and secret adrenocorticotropin in the anterior pituitary.

[Tyr^0] Corticotropin Releasing Factor, ovine, is a hypothalamic hormone sourced from sheep that prompts the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and β-endorphin [1] [2].

Human Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor TFA, also known as Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor Human TFA, is a hypothalamic polypeptide that promotes the production and release of growth hormone (GH) through its interaction with the Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone Receptor (GHRHR) on anterior pituitary cells [1].

α-Helical Corticotropin Releasing Factor (12-41), a 30-amino-acid α-helical analogue of corticotropin releasing factor/hormone (CRF), is a hypothalamic hormone that promotes adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) secretion. This compound counteracts CRF's stimulatory effect on ACTH secretion [1] [2].

Corticotropin Releasing Factor, ovine [Met(O)21], is a hypothalamic hormone isolated from ovine hypothalamic extracts. It functions by stimulating the secretion of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) [1].

[DPro5] Corticotropin Releasing Factor, human, rat, a selective R2 agonist of corticotropin-releasing factor/hormone (CRF), is a hypothalamic hormone that prompts the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and β-endorphin. Unlike typical agents, it does not induce anxiogenic effects but instead influences learning and memory processes in rats [1].

It engages CRF2 receptors through mechanisms dependent on cAMP/PKA and Ca2+/CaMKII. Additionally, Urocortin II, mouse is localized in specific regions of the central nervous system, influencing central neurons that process visceral sensory information and regulate autonomic functions [1] [2] [3].

Urocortin III (human) is a corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-related peptide that primarily interacts with and activates the CRF receptor type 2 (CRF-R2), showing a specific distribution in the central nervous system and periphery. It selectively attaches to type 2 CRF receptors, exhibiting dissociation constants (Ki values) of 13.5 nM for mouse CRF2β, 21.7 nM for rat CRF2α, and >100 nM for human CRF1, indicating a strong preference for CRF-R2 over CRF1. Furthermore, Urocortin III (human) plays a crucial role in the somatostatin-dependent negative feedback mechanism that regulates the secretion of Insulin (human).

Urocortin III is a neuropeptide hormone and member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family which includes mammalian CRF , urocortin , urocortin II , frog sauvagine, and piscine urotensin I.1 Human urocortin III shares 90, 40, 37, and 21% identity to mouse urocortin III , mouse urocortin II , human urocortin , and mouse urocortin, respectively. Urocortin III selectively binds to type 2 CRF receptors (Kis = 21.7, 13.5, and >100 nM for rat CRF2α, rat CRF2β, and human CRF1, respectively). It stimulates cAMP production in CHO cells expressing rat CRF2α and mouse CRF2β (EC50s = 0.16 and 0.12 nM, respectively) as well as cultured anterior pituitary cells expressing endogenous CRF2β. Urocortin III is co-released with insulin to potentiate glucose-stimulated somatostatin release in vitro in human pancreatic β-cells.2 In vivo, urocortin III reduces food intake in a dose- and time-dependent manner in mice with a minimum effective dose (MED) of 0.3 nmol/animal.3 It increases swimming time in a forced swim test in mice, indicating antidepressant-like activity.4References1.

K 41498 is a selective peptide antagonist targeting both corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 2α (CRF2α) and CRF2β, demonstrating high affinity with Kis of 0.66 and 0.62 nM, respectively, in HEK293 cells expressing these human receptors. Its selectivity is evident as it exhibits a significantly reduced affinity for CRF1 receptor (Ki = 425 nM in HEK293 cells expressing the human CRF1 receptor). Additionally, K 41498, when administered intravenously at 1.84 µg/animal, effectively mitigates urocortin-induced hypotension in rats. Furthermore, its intrathecal delivery ranging from 0.075 to 0.5 µmol/animal significantly lowers the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold in a rat model, indicating its potential utility in managing nociception triggered by complete Freund's adjuvant.
