STRESSCOPIN (3-40) (HUMAN) TRIFLUOROACETATE SALT

Urocortin III (human) is a corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-related peptide. Urocortin III (human) preferentially binds and activates CRF-R2 and has a discrete central nervous system and peripheral distribution. Urocortin III (human) selectively binds to type 2 CRF receptors with Ki values of 13.5, 21.7, and >100 nM for mCRF2β, rCRF2α, and hCRF1, respectively. Urocortin III (human) mediates somatostatin-dependent negative feedback control of Insulin (human) (HY-P0035) secretion[1][2].
