Gene Information

General description

Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP), a cyclic peptide, belongs to a small family of peptides encoded by the calcitonin/CGRP gene complex. The calcitonin/CGRP gene complex consists of at least two genes, encoding for two forms of CGRP: -CGRP (CGRP-I) and -CGRP (CGRP-II). CGRP is synthesized and co-localized with calcitonin in the parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid gland and medullary thyroid carcinoma. It is principally considered a neuropeptide widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Specificity

Anti-Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide reacts with CGRP (rat). Cross-reactivity is observed with CGRP (human) and β-CGRP (human).

Immunogen

CGRP-KLH

Application

Anti-Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • dot blot immunoassay
  • fluorescent labeling
  • confocal microscopy
  • immunohistofluorescence
  • epifluorescence imaging

Anti-Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide antibody produced in rabbit was used for immunohistochemistry of trigeminal ganglia cell cultures at a dilution of 1:200 and for immunocytochemistry of mouse lung slices at a dilution of 1:500.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CGRP is thought to act as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator, particularly in the regulation of autonomic (e.g., cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, taste, food intake and sleep) and limbic functions. CGRP is probably involved with substance P in mediating neurogenic inflammation and transmission of pain stimuli via the peripheral nervous system.
Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds receptor-activity-modifying proteins (RAMP)1, -2 and -3. CLR has been implicated in conditions such as obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, migraine and cardiovascular disease.

Quantity

Supplied as a liquid containing 0.1% sodium azide as a preservative

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store 2-8°C. For extended storage, solution may be frozen in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in "frost-free"freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify by centrifugation before use.

Pain is a major symptom associated with chronic inflammation. In previous work from our laboratory, we have shown that in animal models of neuropathic pain there is a sprouting of sympathetic fibers into the upper dermis, a territory normally devoid

The aim of this study was to clarify the roles of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in postoperative pain and inflammatory pain. αCGRP knockout mice that the authors have developed and wild-type mice were used. Pain behaviors were assessed after incision

A large majority of neurons in the superficial layer of the dorsal horn projects to the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPB). LPB neurons then project to the capsular part of the central amygdala (CeA; CeC), a key structure underlying the nociception-emotion

The calcitonin receptor (CTR) and calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) are two of the 15 human family B (or Secretin-like) GPCRs. CTR and CLR are of considerable biological interest as their pharmacology is moulded by interactions with receptor activity-modifying proteins. They

The clinical effectiveness of antagonizing the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor for relief of migraine pain has been clearly demonstrated, but the road to the development of these small molecule antagonists has been daunting. The key hurdle that needed to
