Abstract excerpt
When co-expressed with a receptor activity-modifying protein (RAMP) accessory protein, calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) can function as a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor (CRLR-RAMP1) or an adrenomedullin (AM) receptor (CRLR-RAMP2/3). Here we report on the structural domain(s) involved in selective AM binding that were examined using various RAMP chimeras and deletion mutants. Co-expression of...
