Biological Activity
CGRP receptor[1]
CGRP-(8-37) is a truncated version of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) that binds to the CGRP receptor with similar affinity but does not activate the receptor[1].

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 25 mg/mL (7.99 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : 1.25 mg/mL (0.40 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture and light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

Protocol
Rats: Adult male Sprague Dawley rats are given a spinal hemisection or a sham surgery at the T13 spinal segment. An externally accessible PE-10 intrathecal catheter that terminated at T13 is used for drug delivery. Animals are allowed to recover for 4 weeks at which time the hemisected animals displayed mechanical and thermal allodynia bilaterally, in both forelimbs and hindlimbs. CGRP-(8-37) is delivered just prior to a testing session in 1, 5, 10, or 50 nM doses in artificial cerebral spinal fluid in 10 mL volumes[1].
