Facts about Corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1.
Ligand binding causes a conformation change that activates signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Promotes the activation of adenylate cyclase, leading to increased intracellular cAMP levels.
