Background:

A high affinity CRF binding protein, designated CRF-BP, has been discovered in postmortem brain samples from AD patients. CRF-BP serves to bind and inactivate CRF, reducing the pool of “free CRF” available to bind CRFRs. Two CRF receptors, designated CRF-RI and CFR-RII, exhibit distinct brain localizations.Two forms of CFR-RII, designated CFR-RIIα and CFR-RIIβ, result from alternative mRNA splicing. Urocortin, an additional member of the CRF family, shares 63% sequence identity with urotensin and 45% sequence identity with CRF. Urocortin specifically binds to and activates CRF-RI and CRF-RII, but binds to CRF-RII more efficiently than CRF, suggesting that it may be the true, high affinity ligand for the CRF receptor type II.

Specificity:

CRF-RI (H177) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of CRF-RI protein.
