Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and the related urocortin peptides mediate behavioral,
cognitive, autonomic, neuroendocrine and immunologic responses to aversive stimuli by …

Inadequate pharmacological tools, until recently, hindered the understanding of the roles of
corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptor subtypes in appetite regulation and …

Here we describe the cloning and initial characterization of a previously unidentified CRF-
related neuropeptide, urocortin II (Ucn II). Searches of the public human genome database …

Antifungal and antibacterial activities were detected in the hemolymph and gut contents of
the cattle tick, Boophilus microplus. A peptide with antibacterial activity from the tick gut …

The bimolecular interaction between corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a neuropeptide,
and its type 1 receptor (CRFR1), a class B G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), is crucial for …

We present evidence that members of the corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) family assume
distinct structures when interacting with the CRF1 and CRF2 receptors. Predictive methods …

Predictive methods, physicochemical measurements, and structure activity relationship
studies suggest that corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF; corticoliberin), its family members …

Different truncated and conformationally constrained analogs of corticotropin-releasing
factor (CRF) were synthesized on the basis of the amino acid sequences of human/rat CRF …

Gomesin is an antimicrobial peptide isolated from hemocytes of the Brazilian spider
Acanthoscurria gomesiana that contains two disulfide bridges Cys2‐15/Cys6‐11 and …

In mammals, GRF and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) are
encoded in separate genes. We report here that in the salmon a 4.5-kilobase gene contains …
