Like all vertebrates, marsupials respond to stressors with the activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. However, peptides operating at the higher regulatory levels of this hormonal system, i.e. corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), have not been investigated in marsupials. Here we report the molecular cloning of the precursor cDNAs of CRH (prepro-CRH)...
Urocortin 3 (UCN3) is a neuropeptide believed to regulate stress‐coping responses by binding to type 2 corticotropin‐releasing hormone receptors. Here, we report the cloning and brain distribution of UCN3 mRNA in a sauropsid—the chicken, Gallus gallus. Mature chicken UCN3 is predicted to be a 40‐amino acid peptide showing high sequence similarity to human (93%), mouse (93%), and Xenopus (88%) UCN3...
