About RAMP2

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:42,761,227-42,763,041 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 198 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in lung (RPKM 58.9), fat (RPKM 57.7) and 22 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAMP family of single-transmembrane-domain proteins, called receptor (Calcitonin) activity modifying proteins (RAMPs). RAMPs are type I transmembrane proteins with an extracellular N terminus and a cytoplasmic C terminus. RAMPs are required to transport calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR) to the plasma membrane. CRLR, a receptor with seven transmembrane domains, can function as either a calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor or an Adrenomedullin receptor, depending on which members of the RAMP family are expressed. In the presence of this (RAMP2) protein, CRLR functions as an Adrenomedullin receptor. The RAMP2 protein is involved in core glycosylation and transportation of Adrenomedullin receptor to the cell surface. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
