Identification
HMDB Protein ID CDBP01785
Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Calcitonin gene-related peptide 1
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Alpha-type CGRP
  2. CGRP-I
  3. Calcitonin gene-related peptide I
Gene Name CALCA
Protein Type Receptor
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in hormone activity
Specific Function CGRP induces vasodilation. It 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. It also elevates platelet cAMP
