A novel corticotropin‐releasing factor receptor splice variant exhibits dominant negative activity: a putative link to stress‐induced heart disease
26 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
A growing body of experimental and clinical studies supports a strong association between psychological stress and cardiovascular disease. An important endogenous cardioprotective role in heart physiology has been attributed to corticotropin-releasing factor receptor type 2beta (CRFR2beta). Here, we report the isolation of cDNA from mouse (m) heart encoding a novel CRFR2beta splice variant. Translation of this...
