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 non-hormonal portion of this CC precursor may be a urotensin binding protein, urophysin. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the urotensin-2 family. {ECO:0000305}.
