Preferred Label : receptors, Corticotropin-Releasing hormone;
MeSH definition : Cell surface proteins that bind corticotropin-releasing hormone with high affinity
and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The corticotropin
releasing-hormone receptors on anterior pituitary cells mediate the stimulation of
corticotropin release by hypothalamic corticotropin releasing factor. The physiological
consequence of activating corticotropin-releasing hormone receptors on central neurons
is not well understood.;
