Gene information for UCN3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID114131
Official gene symbolUCN3
Full nameurocortin 3 (stresscopin)
Aliases,MGC119002,SCP,SPC,UCNIII,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family. It is structurally related to the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) gene and the encoded product is an endogenous ligand for CRF type 2 receptors. In the brain it may be responsible for the effects of stress on appetite. In spite of the gene family name similarity, the product of this gene has no sequence similarity to urotensin II.
