The mammalian stress response is mediated in large part via the hypothalamus-anterior pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The key hypothalamic releasing factor in this axis is corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)(Vale et al. 1983). This 41-amino-acid peptide is released from the median eminence and transported via the hypophyseal portal blood system to the anterior pituitary, where it increases synthesis of pro-opiomelanocortin mRNA and secretion of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH; Vale et al. 1981). ACTH stimulates the production of glucocorticoids in the adrenal cortex. In addition to the role of CRH within the HPA stress axis, CRH is expressed in many other regions within the central nervous system where it is thought to influence behavioral, autonomic, and immunological responses to stress (Brown and Fisher 1985; Irwin et al. 1992; Koob and Bloom 1985). CRH has been assigned to human Chromosome (Chr) 8 by Southern blot analysis of somatic cell hybrids and localized to band 8q13 by in situ hybridization of metaphase chromosomes (Arbiser et al. 1988). Synteny homology between mice and humans suggested that Crh would map to mouse Chr 3, 4, 8, or 15 (Nadeau et al. 1992).We mapped Crh to mouse Chr 3 using a M. spretus interspecific backcross (C57BL/6J-tg9257• SPRET/Ei)• C57BL/6J (Bain et al. 1993; Barrow et al. 1993). This cross was previously typed at four loci on distal Chr 3, Gba, Hsd3b, Tshb, and Amy-1 (Bain et al. 1993). We extended the characterization of this cross by typing two markers on proximal Chr 3, carbonic anhydrase 2 (Car-2) and interleukin 2 (II-2). Southern blot hybridization was used to map Crh and Car-2, an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration reaction of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate,(Fig. 1; Venta et al. 1985). II'2, a lymphokine that induces activated T-cells to complete the cell cycle, was mapped
