About Ucn3

Summary

Predicted to enable corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of Insulin secretion; positive regulation of membrane potential; and response to corticosterone. Located in axon terminus and varicosity. Orthologous to human UCN3 (urocortin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
