Recently a new member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family has been cloned
and named urocortin. It has been localized in rat brain and to human chromosome 2. The …

Urocortin, a recently identified peptide of the corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) peptide
family, has potent vasodilatory effects in the human fetal placental circulation in vitro …

Plasma immunoreactive (IR-) urocortin (Ucn) and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) levels
in pregnant women were measured by their specific radioimmunoassays after extraction …

Urocortin is a 40-amino acid peptide belonging to the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)
family. In human reproductive tissues, urocortin expression has been previously …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility that urocortin is the
ligand that displaces corticotropin-releasing hormone from its binding protein in the maternal …

OBJECTIVE AND STUDY DESIGN Urocortin is a recently identified neuropeptide of the
corticotrophin‐releasing factor (CRF) family in the mammalian brain and has been …

Urocortin is a recently identified neuropeptide of the CRF family in the mammalian brain, but
its expression in human tissue has been little studied. In this study, we examined urocortin …

Urocortin is a member of the CRF neuropeptide family and has a 43% homology to CRF in
amino acid sequence. Urocortin has been found to bind with high affinity to CRF receptors …

Urocortin, a new member of the CRF peptide family which also includes urotensin I and
sauvagine, was recently cloned from the rat midbrain. The synthetic replicate of urocortin …

Urocortin (UCN) has 45% sequence homology with corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) and
binds to CRF receptors. We used reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to …
