  • Promoter sequences for corticotropin releasing-factor receptor CRF2? and method of identifying agents that alter the activity of the promoter sequences
    Patent number: 7531356
    Abstract: The DNA sequences of human and rat CRF2? receptor promoters are disclosed. Certain functional fragments of the human CRF2? receptor promoter are also disclosed. Further disclosed are a method of identifying functional fragments of human and rat CRF2? receptor promoters and a method of identifying agents that can alter the activity of the human or rat CRF2? receptor promoter.

  • Method of reducing CRF receptor mRNA
    Publication number: 20080124315
    Abstract: A method of treating a patient is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises the step of reducing the amount of mRNA encoding corticotropin-releasing factor receptor, wherein a portion of the mRNA encoding corticotropin-releasing factor receptor is destroyed and wherein the amount of corticotrophin releasing factor receptor is reduced.

  • Method of identifying agents that alter the activity of the promoter sequence for corticotropin releasing-factor receptor CRF2a
    Publication number: 20020032912
    Abstract: A method for identifying agents that alter the activity of the promoter region of CRF2&agr; receptor is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of (a) obtaining a cell line or organism, wherein the cell line or organism comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a promoter sequence of a heterologous CRF2&agr; receptor operably attached to a reporter gene and (b) introducing a test agent into the cell or transgenic animal and evaluating the expression of the reporter gene product compared to a control cell line or transgenic animal wherein the agent has not been introduced into the cell line or transgenic animal.
