Corticotropin-releasing hormone receptors (CRHRs), also known as corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs) are a
G protein-coupled receptor family that binds
corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH).[1] There are two receptors in the family, designated as type 1 and 2, each encoded by a separate
gene (CRHR1 and CRHR2 respectively).
