Following the discovery of urocortin in rat brain, the human peptide was cloned. Human and rat urocortin show 95% sequence homology. Human urocortin has been shown to bind to CRF-1, CRF-2alpha and CRF-2beta receptors as well as CRF-BP. Urocortin is reported to be more effective at suppressing appetite than CRF, but less potent at producing anxiety-like effects.
