This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between neighboring genes CRHR1-IT1, CRHR1 intronic transcript 1 (Gene ID: 147081) and CRHR1, corticotropin releasing hormone receptor 1 (Gene ID: 1394) on chromosome 17. The readthrough transcript encodes a protein that shares sequence identity with the product of the CRHR1 gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
