Description

Urocortin, human, a 40-aa neuropeptide, acts as a selective agonist of endogenous CRF2 receptor, with Kis of 0.4, 0.3, and 0.5 nM for hCRF1, rCRF and mCRF, respectively.

IC50 & Target

Ki: 0.4 nM (hCRF1, cell assay), 0.3 nM (rCRF, cell assay), and 0.5 nM (mCRF, cell assay)[1]

In Vitro

Urocortin, human is a selective agonist of CRF2 receptor, with Kis of 0.4, 0.3, and 0.5 nM for human CRF1, rat CRF and mouse CRF receptors in cell assay, respectively[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Urocortin (0.01 to 10 μg) decreases food intake in both food-deprived and non-deprived rats and such a effect also observed in mice after 1 μg of Urocortin i.c.v. administration. Urocortin has the potential of inducing anxiogenic behavior[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
