Preferred Name	Urocortins
Definitions	Neuropeptides of about 40 amino acids which are structurally similar to CORTICOTROPIN-RELEASING FACTOR. Unlike CRF acting primarily through type 1 CRF RECEPTORS, urocortins signal preferentially through type 2 CRF receptors. Urocortins have wide tissue distribution from fish to mammals, and diverse functions. In mammals, urocortins can suppress food intake, delays gastric emptying, and decreases heat-induced edema.
Synonyms	Ucn III Urocortin 3 Urocortin 2 Urocortin III Urocortin II Urocortin 1 Urocortin Urocortin I Ucn II
