The G-coupled receptor superfamily includes the CRFR, also known as the corticotropin-releasing factor receptor (CRHR). There are two distinct receptor subtypes—CRF1 receptor and CRF2 receptor—as well as numerous splice variants for each receptor subtype. Urocortin 1 (Ucn 1) binds to both CRF1 and CRF2 receptors with high affinity, whereas CRF itself has a stronger affinity for CRF1 receptors.Urocortins 2 and 3 both preferentially bind to CRF2 receptors.
Two distinct genes that code for different subtypes of the CRF receptor exhibit a variety of alternative pre-mRNA splicing patterns, leading to a variety of variants resulting from partial or complete exon deletions or insertions. Regarding the nine human CRF1 isoforms (CRF1a-i) that have been described, CRF1a is the primary functional wild-type receptor, whereas the other isoforms may modulate CRF signaling. Three functionally active splice variants of the CRF2, designated CRF2a-c, have been identified in humans.
