Bioactivity | [Tyr22] Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide, (22-37), rat is a fragments 22-37 of rat calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), targeting CGRP receptor and adenylate cyclase. Calcitonin is mainly produced by thyroid C cells while CGRP is secreted and stored in the nervous system[1]. |
Invitro | Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) in humans, exists in two forms: CGRP alpha (α-CGRP or CGRP I), and CGRP beta (β-CGRP or CGRP II)[2].[Tyr22] Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide, (22-37), rat shows the receptor binding affinity mainly depending on the carboxyterminal end while the ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase (AC) enzyme mainly depending on the aminoterminal end[3]. |
