Preferred Label : calcitonin gene-related peptide;
MeSH definition : Calcitonin gene-related peptide. A 37-amino acid peptide derived from the calcitonin
gene. It occurs as a result of alternative processing of mRNA from the calcitonin
gene. The neuropeptide is widely distributed in neural tissue of the brain, gut, perivascular
nerves, and other tissue. The peptide produces multiple biological effects and has
both circulatory and neurotransmitter modes of action. In particular, it is a potent
endogenous vasodilator.; A 37-amino acid peptide derived from the calcitonin gene. It occurs as a result of
