    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticotropin-releasing...

    Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) (also known as corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) or corticoliberin; corticotropin may also be spelled corticotrophin) is a peptide hormone involved in stress responses. It is a releasing hormone that belongs to corticotropin-releasing factor family. In humans, it is encoded by the CRH gene. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticotropin-releasing...

    CRH is evolutionary-related to a number of other active peptides. Urocortin acts in vitro to stimulate the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone. Urotensin is found in the teleost caudal neurosecretory system and may play a role in osmoregulation and as a corticotropin-releasing factor.

  4. Corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticotropin-releasing...

    Corticotropin-releasing hormone receptors (CRHRs), also known as corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs) are a G protein-coupled receptor family that binds corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). [1] There are two receptors in the family, designated as type 1 and 2, each encoded by a separate gene (CRHR1 and CRHR2 respectively).

  5. Corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticotropin-releasing...

    Corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRHR1) is a protein, also known as CRF 1, with the latter (CRF 1) now being the IUPHAR-recommended name. [4] In humans, CRF 1 is encoded by the CRHR1 gene at region 17q21.31, beside micrototubule-associated protein tau MAPT .

  6. Releasing and inhibiting hormones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Releasing_and_inhibiting...

    Releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones are hormones whose main purpose is to control the release of other hormones, either by stimulating or inhibiting their release. They are also called liberins ( / ˈ l ɪ b ə r ɪ n z / ) and statins ( / ˈ s t æ t ɪ n z / ) (respectively), or releasing factors and inhibiting factors .

  8. Antalarmin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antalarmin

    Antalarmin (CP-156,181) is a drug that acts as a CRH1 antagonist. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), also known as Corticotropin-releasing factor, is an endogenous peptide hormone released in response to various triggers such as chronic stress and drug addiction.

  9. Corticotropin-releasing hormone binding protein family

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticotropin-releasing...

    Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) plays multiple roles in vertebrate species. It is the major hypothalamic releasing factor for pituitary adrenocorticotropin secretion, [ 2 ] and is a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator at other sites in the central nervous system.
