UCN
-
Official Full Name
urocortin -
Overview
This gene is a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family. It is structurally related to;the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) gene and the encoded product is an endogenous ligand for CRF type 2;receptors. In the brain it may be responsible for the effects of stress on appetite. In spite of the gene family name;similarity, the product of this gene has no sequence similarity to urotensin II. -
