DESCRIPTION

Also known as CRFR2_MOUSE, Crhr2, Crf2r. G-protein coupled receptor for CRH (corticotropin-releasing factor), UCN (urocortin), UCN2 and UCN3. Has high affinity for UCN. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Promotes the activation of adenylate cyclase, leading to increased intracellular cAMP levels. Monomer. Interacts with CRF, UCN, UCN2 and UCN3 (By similarity).
