Corticotropin Releasing Factor (CRF), Ovine

Ovine CRF is a 41-residue amidated CRF-family peptide historically central to defining hypothalamic control of corticotropin secretion. Its sequence differs from human/rat CRF and provides a distinct ligand for CRF receptor and stress-axis studies.

• hypothalamo-pituitary axis research
• GPCR and endocrine signaling
• stress, growth-hormone or reproductive studies
• melanocortin and ACTH fragment research

Exact peptide length, terminal amidation, pyroglutamate formation and affinity labeling are integral to product identity. Use sequence- and modification-matched controls for quantitative receptor or endocrine assays.
