1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

Urocortin (rat) (free acid) exerts its biological effects through high-affinity binding to both CRF₁R and CRF₂R—G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) widely expressed in the rat central nervous system (hypothalamus, amygdala), cardiovascular tissues, and peripheral organs involved in HPA axis regulation. The peptide’s dual disulfide bonds and rat-specific sequence optimize conformational stability, while the free acid form enhances receptor binding affinity by eliminating salt adduct interference.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

CRF receptor research: Investigation of CRF₁R/CRF₂R structure-function relationships in rat models, serving as a standard ligand for dual-receptor activation assays, agonist/antagonist screening, and selectivity validation.

Stress physiology research: Study of HPA axis activation, stress response, and anxiety-like behaviors in rats, supporting exploration of stress-related neurological disorders.

Cardiovascular research: Evaluation of the peptide’s role in regulating rat cardiovascular function (vasodilation, cardiac contractility) and stress-induced cardiovascular responses.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Urocortin (rat) (free acid) (CAS 171543-83-2) is widely utilized in rat-focused preclinical research, with proven efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo models. In rat neuronal cell assays, it exhibits potent dual CRF₁R/CRF₂R activation, effectively modulating stress-related signaling pathways with enhanced binding affinity due to its free acid form—ensuring precise and reproducible results.
