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.

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.
