Calcitonin gene-related peptide and its receptor in the thymus

Peptides, 1995
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a 37-amino acid residue neuropeptide, was immunostained in rat thymus at two sites: a subpopulation of thymic epithelial cells, namely subcapsular/perivascular cells, were heavily stained besides some nerve fibers surrounding arteries and arterioles.

Interaction of calcitonin-gene-related peptide with its receptors

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2002
The receptor for calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a heterodimer formed by calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR), a type II (family B) G-protein-coupled receptor, and receptor-activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1), a single-membrane-pass protein. It is likely that the first seven or so amino acids of CGRP (which form a disulphide-bonded loop)

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide: Multiple Actions, Multiple Receptors

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1992
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) shows diversity both in its effects and its receptors. It is likely to have roles as a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, local hormone and trophic factor. Its effects include rapid changes in neuronal activity, relaxation of many types of smooth muscle, actions on metabolism and changes in gene expression ...

Genomic and Expression Analysis of Canine Calcitonin Receptor-stimulating Peptides and Calcitonin/Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide*

The Journal of Biochemistry, 2008
Calcitonin receptor-stimulating peptides (CRSPs) are new members of the calcitonin/calcitonin gene-related peptide (CT/CGRP) family identified in pigs, dogs and other domestic animals, and CRSP-1 is an active ligand for the CT receptor (CT-R). We recently sequenced porcine CRSP genes (Crsps) and found similarity with the CT/CGRP gene (Ct/Cgrp) in ...

Action of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide at the Calcitonin Receptor of the T47D Cell Line

Hormone and Metabolic Research, 1987
Some effects of calcitonin (CT) can also be produced by calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), an alternative product of the calcitonin gene. This might be mediated by interaction of CGRP at the CT-receptor site. The human breast cancer cell line T47D possesses well characterized CT-receptors (KD = 2.3 x 10(-10) M for 125I salmon CT).

Interaction of Calcitonin and Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide at Receptor Sites in Target Tissues

Science, 1985
Discrete receptor sites for calcitonin (CT) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were found in the nervous system and in peripheral tissues. Each peptide was capable of cross-reacting with the specific receptor of the other. In contrast to CT receptors, CGRP receptors were not linked to adenylate cyclase.
