Biological function summary
CRHR1 plays a significant role in stress-related responses and is involved in the modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. When CRF binds to this receptor it triggers the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland. CRHR1 is also part of the CRF receptor family complex which includes CRHR2 another receptor with similar functions. The interaction with CRF can initiate various signaling pathways further affecting physiological responses to stress.
Pathways
CRHR1 integrates into the HPA axis pathway as well as the cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway. In the HPA pathway CRHR1's activation leads to the secretion of ACTH ultimately resulting in cortisol production by the adrenal glands. The cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB) may become activated in response to CRHR1 modulation influencing gene expression and cellular response to stress. The CRHR1 receptor therefore plays a critical role in these pathways by linking stress signals to hormonal and behavioral changes.

General info
Function
G-protein coupled receptor for CRH (corticotropin-releasing factor) and UCN (urocortin). Has high affinity for CRH and 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. Inhibits the activity of the calcium channel CACNA1H. Required for normal embryonic development of the adrenal gland and for normal hormonal responses to stress. Plays a role in the response to anxiogenic stimuli.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family.
Post-translational modifications
C-terminal Ser or Thr residues may be phosphorylated.. Phosphorylation at Ser-301 by PKA prevents maximal coupling to Gq-protein, and thereby negatively regulates downstream signaling.
