Target data

Function

Acts in vitro to stimulate the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (PubMed:8612563). Binds with high affinity to CRF receptor types 1, 2-alpha, and 2-beta (PubMed:8612563). Plays a role in the establishment of normal hearing thresholds (By similarity). Reduces food intake and regulates ghrelin levels in gastric body and plasma (By similarity).

Notes

ab283516 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Urocortin antibody [EPR25060-64] ab283503.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Urocortin also known as UCN is a member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family of peptides with a molecular weight of approximately 4.7 kDa. It engages in binding to CRF receptors especially CRF-R2 promoting a range of effects in different tissues. Urocortin is expressed in numerous brain regions including the hypothalamus and Edinger-Westphal nucleus as well as in peripheral tissues like the gastrointestinal tract and heart.

Biological function summary

This peptide hormone is involved in stress response and regulation of food intake. Urocortin modulates the activity of neuronal systems contributing to various physiological functions including cardiovascular homeostasis. It does not work as part of a complex but exerts its effects through receptor-ligand interactions predominantly with CRF-R2 influencing vasodilation and reducing anxiety-like behaviors.

Pathways

Urocortin exerts its biological roles through the corticotropin-releasing hormone signaling pathway. This pathway is fundamental in the body's response to stress. Urocortin's interaction with CRF-R2 links it to other CRF-related peptides such as CRF itself and Urocortin II in regulating stress-related responses and energy homeostasis via these pathways.

Associated diseases and disorders

Research indicates Urocortin's involvement in heart failure and anxiety disorders. In heart failure Urocortin's role in cardiovascular function places it alongside proteins such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in maintaining heart health. Moreover in anxiety disorders it shares connections with CRF in modulating behavioral responses to stress pointing to potential therapeutic applications in treating stress-related diseases.
