Summary: Enables corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 binding activity and corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 2 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; regulation of secretion by cell; and response to corticosteroid. Located in extracellular space; perikaryon; and varicosity. Is active in neuronal dense core vesicle lumen. Used to study hypoglycemia and obesity. Biomarker of several diseases, including alcohol use disorder; cerebrovascular disease (multiple); extrahepatic cholestasis; sciatic neuropathy; and withdrawal disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity and panic disorder. Orthologous to human CRH (corticotropin releasing hormone). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 20.2), Heart (RPKM 11.8) and 1 other tissue See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
