The CRF peptide family and their receptors: yet more partners discovered

Frank M Dautzenberg et al. Trends Pharmacol Sci. 2002 Feb.

Abstract

Abnormal signaling at corticotropin-releasing factor CRF1 and CRF2 receptors might contribute to the pathophysiology of stress-related disorders such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders, in addition to cardiac and inflammatory disorders. Recently, molecular characterization of CRF1 and CRF2 receptors and the cloning of novel ligands--urocortin, stresscopin-related peptide/urocortin II, and stresscopin/urocortin III--have revealed a far-reaching physiological importance for the family of CRF peptides. Although the physiological roles of the CRF2 receptor remain to be defined, the preclinical and clinical development of specific small-molecule antagonists of the CRF1 receptor opens new avenues for the treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders.
