Urocortin is a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family. It is an endogenous ligand for corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptors. Urocortin, peptide of 40 amino acids, acts in vitro to stimulate the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It binds with high affinity to CRF receptor types 1, 2-alpha, and 2-beta. Urocortin plays a role in the establishment of normal hearing thresholds. It reduces food intake and regulates ghrelin levels in gastric body and plasma. Urocortin is a potent anorexigenic peptide that induces fed-like motor activity when administered centrally or peripherally in fasted animals. Urocortin is also a potent and long-lasting hypotensive agent and increases coronary blood flow.
