  • Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Receptors
  • CGRP Receptor
  • CGRP Receptors
  • Receptors, CGRP

Scope note

  • Cell surface proteins that bind CALCITONIN GENE-RELATED PEPTIDE with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. CGRP receptors are present in both the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and the periphery. They are formed via the heterodimerization of the CALCITONIN RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN and RECEPTOR ACTIVITY-MODIFYING PROTEIN 1.

History note

  • 1994; use RECEPTORS, CALCITONIN 1986-1993
