CGRP Receptor

Calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor

CGRP receptor is a heterodimer formed by calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR), a type II (family B) G-protein-coupled receptor, and receptor-activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1), a single-membrane-pass protein. RAMP1 is needed for CGRP binding and also cell-surface expression of CLR. CLR is an example of a family B GPCR.

CGRP is a neuropeptide abundant in the trigeminal system and widely expressed in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. CGRP has several functions including vasodilation, the perception of painful stimuli, and inflammation. CGRP exerts its biological action by interacting with its receptors. There are two types of CGRP receptors, CGRP-A and CGRP-B.
