Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 114131
Gene name Urocortin 3
Gene symbol UCN3
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
SCPSPCUCNIII
Chromosome 10
Chromosome location 10p15.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature peptide hormone, which is secreted by pancreatic beta and alpha cells.
