Crhr1 Gene Summary [Rat]
This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. The encoded protein is a receptor for corticotropin-releasing factor (CRH) and urocortin (UCN). The interaction of this protein with CRH and UCN triggers G-protein coupled signaling. This protein plays a pivotal role in mediating the CRH-elicited effects in depression and anxiety. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Crhr1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
