Scope note: Péptido de unos 41 aminoácidos que estimula la liberación de CORTICOTROPINA. La CRH es sintetizada por neuronas del NÚCLEO PARAVENTRICULAR del HIPOTÁLAMO. Tras ser liberada en la circulación portal hipofisaria, la CRH estimula la liberación de ACTH en la HIPÓFISIS. La CRH también puede sintetizarse en otros tejidos, como la PLACENTA, la MÉDULA SUPRARRENAL y el TESTÍCULO.

Scope note: A peptide of about 41 amino acids that stimulates the release of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. CRH is synthesized by neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the PITUITARY GLAND. CRH can also be synthesized in other tissues, such as PLACENTA; ADRENAL MEDULLA; and TESTIS.
