Abstract:
1. An isolated human urocortin-related peptide coded for by a DNA selected from the group consisting of (a) DNA having the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; (b) DNA which hybridizes at high stringency conditions to the complement of the DNA of (a) above, wherein high stringency conditions are characterized as membrane washing at high temperature and low salt concentration functionally equivalent to 0.1×SSC at 65° C., wherein said DNA encodes a human urocortin-related peptide; and (c) DNA differing from the DNAs of (a) and (b) above in codon sequence due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, and which encodes a human urocortin-related peptide.
