An insight into the activation mechanism of the calcitonin-gene-related peptide receptor
2010-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor is unique among G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) as it consists of at least three proteins: calcitonin receptor like receptor (CLR), receptor activity modifying protein (RAMP)1 and receptor component protein (RCP). An endogenous agonist for this curious receptor is aCGRP, which is a sensory nerve-derived peptide made up of 37 amino acids. aCGRP acts as a poten...
