Corticotropin releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRHR1) is a protein, also known as CRF1, with the latter (CRF1) now being the IUPHAR-recommended name.[1] In humans, CRF1 is encoded by the CRHR1 gene.[2][3]

Contents

Function

The corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor binds to corticotropin-releasing hormone, a potent mediator of endocrine, autonomic, behavioral, and immune responses to stress.[4]

CRF1 receptors in mice mediate ethanol enhancement of GABAergic synaptic transmission. [5]

Clinical significance

Variations in the CRHR1 gene is associated with enhanced response to inhaled corticosteroid therapy in asthma.[6] CRF1 receptor antagonists are being actively studied as possible treatments for depression and anxiety.[7][8]

Interactions

Corticotropin releasing hormone receptor 1 has been shown to interact with Corticotropin-releasing hormone[9][10] and Urocortin.[11][10]
