Urotensin I (Catostomus urotensin I) TFA, a CRF-like neuropeptide, acts as an agonist of CRF receptor with pEC 50 s of 11.46, 9.36 and 9.85 for human CRF 1 , human CRF 2 and rat CRF 2α receptors in CHO cells, and K i s of 0.4, 1.8, and 5.7 nM for hCRF 1 , rCRF 2α and mCRF 2β receptors, respectively.

体外研究(In Vitro)
Urotensin I is 2-3 times more potent than CRF or sauvagine in stimulating ACTH release from a superfused goldfish anterior pituitary cell column.Rat tail artery strips were incubated in the presence of 4 x 10(-3) M theophylline and Urotensin I (UI). At the concentrations of 1.50, 7.50 mU/ml but not of 0.75 mU/ml Urotensin I, the content of cAMP increased significantly. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
体内研究(In Vivo)
Intraperitoneal injections of urotensin I, a CRF-like neuropeptide isolated from the caudal neurosecretory system of the teleost Catostomus commersoni, ovine CRF and sauvagine all produced significant increases in circulating levels of plasma cortisol in goldfish in which endogenous ACTH secretion was suppressed with betamethasone. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
