Vectors for Human UCN

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol UCN
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name urocortin
  • Other Aliases UCN1; UI; UROC
  • Other Desigations urocortin; prepro-urocortin; urocortin, preproprotein
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature peptide, an endogenous ligand for both corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 and corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 2. In the brain this peptide may be responsible for the effects of stress on appetite. This peptide may also play a role in mood disorders, neurodegeneration, and skeletal system disorders. In spite of the gene family name similarity, the product of this gene has no sequence similarity to urotensin-2. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
