Abstract excerpt
A functional calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor requires dimerization of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) with receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP 1). To determine the function of the three domains (extracellular, ECD; transmembrane, TM; and tail domains) of human RAMP 1, three mutants were constructed: RAMP 1 without the cytoplasmic tail, a chimera consisting of the ECD of RAMP 1 and...
