RN [2] RP NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE. RC STRAIN=Lewis; RA Park J.H., Lee Y.J., Kim K.L.; RT "Detection of rat urocortin in lymphoid tissues: implications for the RT functional assessment of urocortin as a novel neuro-immunomodulatory RT peptide."; RL Submitted (SEP-1998) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases. CC -!- FUNCTION: Acts in vitro to stimulate the secretion of CC adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Binds with high affinity to CC CRF Receptor types 1, 2-alpha, and 2-beta. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing CC factor/urotensin I family.
