Ki: 0.4 nM (hCRF1, cell assay), 0.3 nM (rCRF2α, cell assay), and 0.5 nM (mCRF2β, cell assay)[1]

In Vitro Urocortin, human is a selective agonist of CRF2 receptor, with Kis of 0.4, 0.3, and 0.5 nM for human CRF1, rat CRF2α and mouse CRF2β receptors in cell assay, respectively[1].
In Vivo Urocortin (0.01 to 10 μg) decreases food intake in both food-deprived and non-deprived rats and such a effect also observed in mice after 1 μg of Urocortin i.c.v. administration. Urocortin has the potential of inducing anxiogenic behavior[2].
