Function

CGRP1/CALCA is a peptide hormone that induces vasodilation mediated by the CALCRL-RAMP1 receptor complex (PubMed:1318039, PubMed:33602864, PubMed:9620797). Dilates a variety of vessels including the coronary, cerebral and systemic vasculature. Its abundance in the CNS also points toward a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator role (PubMed:3492492). It also elevates platelet cAMP (PubMed:1318039). CGRP1 can also bind and activate CALCR-RAMP1 (AMYR1) receptor complex (PubMed:38603770).

Activity summary

The target designated as CGRP-I and CGRP-II refers to calcitonin gene-related peptide isoforms which play key roles in various physiological functions. CGRP around 37 amino acids long has alternative names such as alpha-CGRP and beta-CGRP occurring mainly in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous tissues. These peptides are potent vasodilators integral to the modulation of blood vessel tone and immune responses. Both isoforms though small in mass allow for significant physiological impacts due to their receptor interactions.

Biological function summary

CGRP-I and CGRP-II contribute to vasodilation and pain transmission in the nervous system. Each isoform can activate specific CGRP receptors mainly located on smooth muscle cells and neurons without forming stable complexes. Their activity involves increasing intracellular cAMP levels facilitating vascular relaxation and modulating nociceptive pathways. Consequently CGRP peptides are essential for conveying pain signals and supporting neurogenic inflammation mechanisms.

Pathways

CGRP-I and CGRP-II serve critical roles in the cardiovascular and nervous system pathways. The cAMP-dependent pathway one of the essential routes of action elevates vasodilation responses where CGRP interacts with the RAMP1 protein a receptor accessory protein. Another pathway involves the modulation of pain where CGRP interacts with other neurotransmitters and proteins such as substance P and neurokinin.

Associated diseases and disorders

CGRP-I and CGRP-II show significant associations with migraines and hypertension. These peptides through their vasodilatory capabilities and nociceptive signaling connect to migraines by interacting with proteins like RAMP1 in trigeminal neurons exacerbating migraine pathology. Furthermore CGRP's role in promoting vasodilation links to hypertension management where altered CGRP activity affects blood pressure regulation. These connections make CGRP-related pathways viable targets for therapeutic intervention.
