Crhbp - corticotropin releasing hormone binding protein

Enables corticotropin-releasing hormone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to estradiol stimulus; cellular response to organonitrogen compound; and maternal aggressive behavior. Acts upstream of or within hormone metabolic process. Located in extracellular space and nucleus. Is expressed in adrenal gland; central nervous system; eye; hemolymphoid system gland; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mental depression. Orthologous to human CRHBP (corticotropin releasing hormone binding protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
