Function

Hormone that plays a central role in whole body adaptation to stress. Released by the hypothalamus primarily in response to physical or psychological stress and acts by binding to CRH receptor CRHR2. UCN3-dependent signaling plays a key role in the metabolic regulation and energy homeostasis in responses to stress, acting as an anxiolytic.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Secreted

Product Specifications

Protein Biology

Function

Hormone that plays a central role in whole body adaptation to stress (PubMed:11329063, PubMed:11416224). Released by the hypothalamus primarily in response to physical or psychological stress and acts by binding to CRH receptor CRHR2 (PubMed:11329063, PubMed:11416224, PubMed:20966082, PubMed:26350463). UCN3-dependent signaling plays a key role in the metabolic regulation and energy homeostasis in responses to stress, acting as an anxiolytic (PubMed:11329063, PubMed:11416224). Promotes energy balance by reducing food intake, improving insulin sensitivity and managing blood glucose levels in response to metabolic stress (By similarity). In contrast to CRH and UCN, does not activate the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis to promote corticotropin hormone (ACTH) production (PubMed:11329063)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order or inquire about this product?

Fill out the Online Inquiry form with your required quantity and specifications. You can also email sales@biocrestsci.com. Our team typically responds within 4 business hours with a quote and availability confirmation.

What is the shipping and delivery time?

Orders placed before 2 PM EST ship the same day. Domestic (US) delivery typically takes 2-3 business days. International orders deliver within 5-10 business days. All products are shipped at ambient temperature with appropriate packaging to ensure stability.

How should I store this recombinant protein?

Lyophilized proteins should be stored at -20°C to -80°C upon receipt. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Shelf life is 12 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended.

What quality controls are performed on your products?

Each product undergoes SDS-PAGE purity analysis (typically >85-95%), endotoxin testing, and bioactivity validation. Products are validated for ELISA, Western Blot, and SPR/BLI applications as specified on this product page. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is available upon request.
