Abstract

We report the discovery of a new CRF2 receptor splice isoform found in human brain, which we have termed the CRF2gamma receptor. The CRF2gamma cDNA encodes for a 397-amino acid receptor that has an amino terminus with no significant homology to the already reported alpha- and beta-termini. When expressed in 293-EBNA (Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen) cells, the CRF2gamma receptor responds in a dose-dependent manner to CRF and related peptides with a rank order of potency of urocortin > or = sauvagine>urotensin>r/h CRF, with EC50 values more similar to CRF2alpha than CRF2beta. Equilibrium saturation isotherm analysis with radiolabeled sauvagine reveals a two site/state model for binding to CRF2gamma with a 60 pM Kd high-affinity site and a 5 nM Kd low-affinity site. Analysis of CRF2gamma RNA expression in human brain demonstrates expression in septum and hippocampus, with weaker but detectable expression in amygdala, nucleus accumbens, midbrain, and frontal cortex.

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.
