The present invention is directed to compositions and methods related to soluble G-protein coupled receptors (sGPCR). In certain aspects the invention includes compositions and methods related to a soluble corticotropin releasing factor receptor related protein, sCRFR2, as well as its effects on CRFR signaling and interaction between CRF family ligand and CRFR receptors, including but not limited to CRFR2, CRFR1 and functional or signaling capable variants thereof.
