MeSH definition : Cell surface proteins that bind CALCITONIN GENE-RELATED PEPTIDE 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. They are formed
via the heterodimerization of the CALCITONIN RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN and RECEPTOR ACTIVITY-MODIFYING
PROTEIN 1.;
MeSH synonym : calcitonin gene-related peptide receptors; cgrp receptor; cgrp receptors; receptors, cgrp; calcitonin gene related peptide receptor; calcitonin-gene related peptide receptor; calcitonin gene related peptide receptors; receptors, calcitonin gene related peptide;
