Leírás

Általános leírás

Research area: Neuroscience

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a 41-amino-acid peptide, is widely expressed in neurons throughout the mammalian brain and several peripheral tissues such as the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine. It functions by stimulating the secretion of corticotropin in the anterior pituitary, which in turn regulates adrenal cortex synthetic/secretory activity. Human CRF is located on chromosome 8q13 and is identical to rat and mouse CRF. It assumes a random coil structure under physiological conditions and α-helix shape in an amphiphilic environment.

Alkalmazás

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) has been used to investigate its effects on Cerebellar Motor Control and Ataxia in rats.

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a neuropeptide also known as corticotropin-releasing factor (CRH), plays a crucial role in the stress response by activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and extrahypothalamic pathways. It acts by releasing Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary, stimulating the sympathetic nervous system and adrenal medulla. Besides its involvement in stress regulation, CRF peptides have diverse effects on both, the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. This includes potential regulation of anxiety, mood, feeding, inflammation, gastric emptying, and blood pressure. Aberrant secretion of CRF could potentially contribute to the development of various neuropsychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Parkinson′s disease, Alzheimer′s disease, alcohol withdrawal, and post traumatic stress disorder. Also, CRF and CRF-R1 (Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor 1) have been observed in lymphoid organs and sites of inflammation, suggesting a role in immune system regulation.
