Intermedin Is a Calcitonin/Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide Family Peptide Acting through the Calcitonin Receptor-like Receptor/Receptor Activity-modifying Protein Receptor Complexes [PDF]
Calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), adrenomedullin (ADM), and amylin belong to a unique group of peptide hormones important for homeostasis in diverse tissues. Calcitonin is essential for calcium balance, whereas CGRP and ADM are important for neurotransmission and cardiovascular and respiratory regulation.

The binding of botulinum neurotoxins to different peripheral neurons [PDF]
Botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins known. The double receptor binding modality represents one of the most significant properties of botulinum neurotoxins and largely accounts for their incredible potency and lethality.

Calcitonin, CGRP, adrenomedullin, and amylin require both CRLR (calcitonin-gene receptor like receptor) and receptor activity modifying proteins (RAMP1, RAMP2, and RAMP3) in different combinations for expression of selective, functional receptors[1].

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

Salmon Calcitonin Attenuates Some Behavioural Responses to Nicotine in Male Mice
The behavioural responses to nicotine involve appetite-regulatory hormones; however, the effects of the anorexigenic hormone amylin on reward-related behaviours induced by nicotine remain to be established.

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
