Abstract excerpt
Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) receptors belong to the super-family of G protein-coupled receptors. These receptors are classified into two subtypes (CRF1 and CRF2). Both receptors are positively coupled to adenylyl cyclase but they have a distinct pharmacology and distribution in brain. Two isoforms belonging to the CRF2 subtype receptors, CRF2alpha and CRF2beta, have been identified in rat and man. The...
