Abstract

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF; corticoliberin) regulates the secretion of corticotropin (ACTH) and beta-endorphin and has a broad range of effects on the nervous, endocrine, reproductive, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune systems. Recently, human, rat, and mouse CRF receptors (CRF-R) have been cloned and functionally and anatomically characterized. We report here the cloning of a second CRF-R cDNA (CRF-RB), which encodes a protein of 431 amino acids, which is 16 amino acids longer and 68% similar to the previously cloned CRF-R, CRF-RA. When transiently expressed in COS-M6 cells, CRF-RB binds CRF with high affinity [Kd = 1.2 (0.57-2.5)nM] and transduces the CRF-stimulated signal of the accumulation of intracellular cAMP, which is inhibited by a CRF antagonist. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of CRF-RB and the previously cloned receptor reveals major differences in the N-terminal domain and in the extracellular loops, whereas the sequences of the intracellular loops are nearly identical. CRF-RB and related transcripts are expressed in the heart, as well as in other tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract, epididymis, and brain.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
