Abstract excerpt
Adrenomedullin 1 (AM(1)) receptor is a heterodimer composed of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) - a family B G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) - and receptor activity-modifying protein 2 (RAMP2). Both family A and family B GPCRs possess an eighth helix (helix 8) in the proximal portion of their C-terminal tails; however, little is known about the function of helix 8 in family B GPCRs. We therefore...
