(eds.); RL Proceedings of the 7th American peptide symposium, pp.69-72, Pierce RL Chemical Co., Rockford Il. (1981). CC -!- FUNCTION: Urotensin is found in the teleost caudal neurosecretory CC system. It has a suggested role in osmoregulation and as a CC corticotropin-releasing factor. The nonhormonal portion of this CC precursor may be a urotensin binding protein, urophysin. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the urotensin 2 family.
