Product Description
Urocortin III is a neuropeptide hormone and member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family which includes mammalian CRF, urocortin (Item No. ), urocortin II (Item No. ), frog sauvagine, and piscine urotensin I. Human urocortin III shares 90, 40, 37, and 21% identity to mouse urocortin III (Item Nos. | ), mouse urocortin II (Item No. ), human urocortin (Item No. ), and mouse urocortin, respectively. Urocortin III selectively binds to type 2 CRF receptors (Kis = 21.7, 13.5, and >100 nM for rat CRF2α, rat CRF2β, and human CRF1, respectively). It stimulates cAMP production in CHO cells expressing rat CRF2α and mouse CRF2β (EC50s = 0.16 and 0.12 nM, respectively) as well as cultured anterior pituitary cells expressing endogenous CRF2β. Urocortin III is co-released with insulin to potentiate glucose-stimulated somatostatin release in vitro in human pancreatic β-cells. In vivo, urocortin III reduces food intake in a dose- and time-dependent manner in mice with a minimum effective dose (MED) of 0.3 nmol/animal. It increases swimming time in a forced swim test in mice, indicating antidepressant-like activity.
