Background: CRF2 is a receptor for corticotropin releasing factor. Shows high-affinity CRF binding. Also binds to urocortin I, II and III. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. Expression levels shown to be comparable in adipose tissues and the heart of humans. Expression in adipose tissues suggests a functional role for CRH in human fat.
