A Native PAGE Assay for the Biochemical Characterization of G Protein Coupling to GPCRs
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of membrane-embedded receptors that have diverse roles in physiology and are major drug targets. GPCRs transduce an agonist binding signal across the membrane to activate intracellular heterotrimeric

Selective CGRP and adrenomedullin peptide binding by tethered RAMP‐calcitonin receptor‐like receptor extracellular domain fusion proteins [PDF]
AbstractCalcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) and adrenomedullin (AM) are related peptides that are potent vasodilators. The CGRP and AM receptors are heteromeric protein complexes comprised of a shared calcitonin receptor‐like receptor (CLR) subunit and a variable receptor activity modifying protein (RAMP) subunit.

The Extracellular Domain of Receptor Activity-modifying Protein 1 Is Sufficient for Calcitonin Receptor-like Receptor Function [PDF]
A functional calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor requires dimerization of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) with receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP 1). To determine the function of the three domains (extracellular, ECD; transmembrane, TM; and tail domains) of human RAMP 1, three mutants were constructed: RAMP 1 without the ...

Immunohistochemical Localization of Calcitonin Receptor–Like Receptor and Receptor Activity–Modifying Proteins in the Human Cerebral Vasculature [PDF]
Calcitonin gene-related peptide and adrenomedullin belong to a structurally related neuropeptide family and are potent vasodilators expressed in the trigeminovascular system. The molecular identity of receptors for these proteins has only recently been elucidated.

Calcitonin Related Polypeptide Alpha Mediates Oral Cancer Pain
Oral cancer patients suffer pain at the site of the cancer. Calcitonin gene related polypeptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide expressed by a subset of primary afferent neurons, promotes oral cancer growth.
