Description | Urocortin II (mouse) also called Ucn II (mouse), exhibited considerably higher affinity for both splice variants of the type 2 CRF receptor (CRF-R2) than for CRF-R1. The potencies of Urocortin II (mouse) in activating CRF-R2α and CRF-R2β were nearly equivalent to that of urocortin (rat). |
