Crhbp Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables corticotropin-releasing hormone binding activity and peptide binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cocaine; cellular response to estradiol stimulus; and cellular response to estrogen stimulus. Located in several cellular components, including axon; cytoplasmic vesicle; and perikaryon. Biomarker of depressive disorder; obesity; and temporal lobe epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in depressive disorder and opioid abuse. Orthologous to human CRHBP (corticotropin releasing hormone binding protein).

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 Crhbp often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
