Immunoprecipitation of CRHBP transfected lysate using anti-CRHBP MaxPab rabbit polyclonal antibody and Protein A Magnetic Bead (U0007), and immunoblotted with CRHBP MaxPab mouse polyclonal antibody (B01) (H00001393-B01).
Corticotropin-releasing hormone is a potent stimulator of synthesis and secretion of preopiomelanocortin-derived peptides. Although CRH concentrations in the human peripheral circulation are normally low, they increase throughout pregnancy and fall rapidly after parturition. Maternal plasma CRH probably originates from the placenta. Human plasma contains a CRH-binding protein which inactivates CRH and which may prevent inappropriate pituitary-adrenal stimulation in pregnancy. [provided by RefSeq
