[Tyr0] Corticotropin Releasing Factor, ovine acetate is a corticotropin releasing factor/hormone isolated from ovine. Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) is a hypothalamic hormone, stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and of β-endorphin [1] [2].
In Vivo, [Tyr0] Corticotropin Releasing Factor, ovine (328 μCi/μg; 198 pg/min or 225 pg/min; continuous infusions intravenous; single dose lasting 5-7 hr) acetate shows a long plasma half-life and low metabolic clearance rate in male cynomolgus monkeys[1].
In Vitro, [Tyr0] Corticotropin Releasing Factor, ovine acetate has a strong binding effect with plasma protein[1].
