Abstract excerpt
Receptor activity modifying proteins (RAMPs) interact with calcitonin receptors to produce novel amylin receptor phenotypes. We have recently demonstrated that the short intracellular C-terminus of RAMPs plays a key role in the function of amylin receptors derived from the CTa calcitonin receptor through the use of chimeric RAMPs and RAMPs that are truncated at the C-terminus [15, Udawela M, Christopoulos G,...
