CAPA neuropeptides and their receptor form an anti-diuretic hormone signalling system in the human disease vector, Aedes aegypti [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Insect CAPA neuropeptides are homologs of mammalian neuromedin U and are known to influence ion and water balance by regulating the activity of the Malpighian ‘renal’ tubules (MTs).

Oocyte-specific disruption of adrenomedullin 2 gene enhances ovarian follicle growth after superovulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
BackgroundAdrenomedullin 2 (ADM2), adrenomedullin (ADM), and calcitonin gene-related peptides (α- and β-CGRPs) signal through heterodimeric calcitonin receptor-like receptor/receptor activity-modifying protein 1, 2 and 3 (CLR/RAMP1, 2 and 3) complexes ...

Calcitonin/Amylin Receptors and Ramps

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2001
Our understanding of G protein-coupled receptor function has recently expanded to encompass novel protein interactions that underlie both cell surface receptor expression and the exhibited phenotype. The most notable examples are those involving receptor

Role of calcitonin gene-related peptide in cerebral vasospasm, and as a therapeutic approach to subarachnoid haemorrhage

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is one of the most potent microvascular vasodilators identified to date. Vascular relaxation and vasodilation is mediated via activation of the CGRP receptor.

Cerebellar distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its receptor components calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) and receptor activity modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) in rat [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2011
Clinical and experimental results have revealed a fundamental role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in primary headaches. CGRP is widely expressed in neurons both in the central nervous system (CNS) and in peripheral sensory nerves. In the CNS there is a wide distribution of CGRP-containing neurons with the highest levels seen in striatum ...

Triptans and CGRP blockade - impact on the cranial vasculature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The trigeminovascular system plays a key role in the pathophysiology of migraine. The activation of the trigeminovascular system causes release of various neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, including serotonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide ...

CGRP Receptor Family and Accessory Protein Localization: Implications for Predicted Function

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2001
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), adrenomedullin, amylin, and calcitonin are functionally related neuropeptides. Certain of these peptides mediate their action through receptors which have common components, such as the receptor activity modifying ...

Protein Transduction Method for Cerebrovascular Disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Many studies have shown that a motif of 11 consecutive arginines (11R) is one of the most effective protein transduction domains (PTD) for introducing proteins into the cell membrane.

Mammalian calcitonin receptor‐like receptor/receptor activity modifying protein complexes define calcitonin gene‐related peptide and adrenomedullin receptors in Drosophila Schneider 2 cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2000
Differential glycosylation of human and rat (r) calcitonin (CT) receptor‐like receptors (CRLR) as a result of interactions with accessory receptor activity‐modifying proteins (RAMP)1 or ‐2 was considered to define CT gene‐related peptide (CGRP) or adrenomedullin (ADM) receptors in mammalian cells.
