Urocortins (Urocortin 1,2 and 3) are member of the corticotropin releasing homone (CRH) family.Two receptors have been isolated CRHR-1 and CRHR-2.CRH is bound to CRHR-I receptor,while urocortin 1 binds to CRHR-1 and CRHR-2.urocorfin 2 binds prefarably to the CRHR-2 receptor and urocortin-3 binds exclusively to the CRHR-2 receptor.Urocortins (Urocortin 1,2 and 3) have been tested in a modified swimming test in mice for detection of anti-depressant effects.The test involved scoring the immobility,climbing and swimming behavior of mice in a modified forced swimming behavior (FST).Urocortin 1 had no action on any of the parameters studied in the modified FST.
