Receptor Activity-Modifying Proteins: RAMPing up Adrenomedullin Signaling [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Endocrinology, 2007
Adrenomedullin (AM) is a 52-amino-acid multifunctional peptide that circulates in the plasma in the low picomolar range and can exert a multitude of biological effects through an autocrine/paracrine mode of action. The mechanism by which AM transduces its signal represents a novel and pharmacologically tractable paradigm in G protein-coupled receptor ...

Circulating adrenomedullin estimates survival and reversibility of organ failure in sepsis: the prospective observational multinational Adrenomedullin and Outcome in Sepsis and Septic Shock-1 (AdrenOSS-1) study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Adrenomedullin (ADM) regulates vascular tone and endothelial permeability during sepsis. Levels of circulating biologically active ADM (bio-ADM) show an inverse relationship with blood pressure and a direct relationship with vasopressor ...

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 ...

Adrenomedullin and its receptors are expressed in mouse pancreatic β-cells and suppresses insulin synthesis and secretion.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with defective pancreatic β-cell adaptation in pregnancy, but the underlying mechanism remains obscure.

The ADMR receptor mediates the effects of adrenomedullin on pancreatic cancer cells and on cells of the tumor microenvironment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Adrenomedullin (AM) is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer and stimulates pancreatic cancer cells leading to increased tumor growth and metastasis. The current study examines the role of specific AM receptors on tumor and cells resembling the tumor ...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors are important to maintain cerebrovascular reactivity in chronic hypertension. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Cerebral blood flow autoregulation (CA) shifts to higher blood pressures in chronic hypertensive patients, which increases their risk for brain damage. Although cerebral vascular smooth muscle cells express the potent vasodilatatory peptides calcitonin ...

Accelerated Development With Increased Bone Mass and Skeletal Response to Loading Suggest Receptor Activity Modifying Protein-3 as a Bone Anabolic Target

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Knockout technologies provide insights into physiological roles of genes. Studies initiated into endocrinology of heteromeric G protein-coupled receptors included deletion of receptor activity modifying protein-3, an accessory protein that alters ligand ...

The role of ECL2 in CGRP receptor activation: a combined modelling and experimental approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor is a complex of a calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR), which is a family B G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor activity modifying protein 1.

Reassessing the adrenomedullin scavenging function of ACKR3 in lymphatic endothelial cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) is a scavenger of the chemokines CXCL11 and CXCL12 and of several opioid peptides. Additional evidence indicates that ACKR3 binds two other non-chemokine ligands, namely the peptide hormone adrenomedullin (AM) and ...
