Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide Receptors

Medical Condition:
Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide Receptors

Cell surface proteins that bind calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) 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 and are not the same as calcitonin receptors.
