urocortins - CISMeF

Preferred Label : urocortins;

MeSH definition : Neuropeptides of about 40 amino acids which are structurally similar to CORTICOTROPIN-RELEASING FACTOR. Unlike CRF acting primarily through type 1 CRF RECEPTORS, urocortins signal preferentially through type 2 CRF receptors. Urocortins have wide tissue distribution from fish to mammals, and diverse functions. In mammals, urocortins can suppress food intake, delays gastric emptying, and decreases heat-induced edema.;

MeSH hyponym : urocortin 3; urocortin 2; urocortin 1; Urocortin III; Ucn III; Urocortin I; Urocortin; Urocortin II; Ucn II;

Is substance : O;
