Rattus norvegicus

Gene ID: 29151 | Gene type: protein coding

About Ucn

Summary

Enables corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 binding activity; corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 2 binding activity; and histone deacetylase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell death; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of secretion. Located in axon; dendrite; and perikaryon. Used to study Parkinsonism and thromboangiitis obliterans. Biomarker of asthma; colitis; and thromboangiitis obliterans. Orthologous to human UCN (urocortin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
