CC -!- FUNCTION: Acts in vitro to stimulate the secretion of
CC adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (By similarity). Binds with high
CC affinity to CRF receptor types 1, 2-alpha, and 2-beta (By similarity).
CC Plays a role in the establishment of normal hearing thresholds
CC (PubMed:12091910). Reduces food intake and regulates ghrelin levels in
CC gastric body and plasma (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P55089,
CC ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P55090, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12091910}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts with CRHR1 and CRHR2 (via their N-terminal
CC extracellular domain). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: In the organ of Corti, detected in the inner hair
CC cell region (at protein level) (PubMed:12091910). Expressed in skin (at
CC protein level) (PubMed:10690896). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10690896,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:12091910}.
CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: In skin, levels decrease gradually from the
CC telogen (resting) phase of the hair follicle with lowest levels
CC observed in late anagen IV phase of active growth (at protein level).
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10690896}.
CC -!- DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Increased anxiety-like behavior, reduced Crhr2
CC mRNA levels in the lateral septum, normal basal feeding behavior, and
CC hearing impairment at the level of the inner ear with shorter outer
CC hair cells, higher threshold for auditory stimuli and higher distortion
CC product otoacoustic emissions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12091910}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing
CC factor/urotensin I family. {ECO:0000305}.
