A New Calcitonin-Receptor-like Sequence in Rat Pulmonary Blood Vessels

Abstract: 1. Two rat clones have been isolated which are similar to known calcitonin-receptor sequences. One of these does not have the distribution expected of a calcitonin receptor. It is widely distributed, with extremely high levels of expression in the lung, where it is associated with the blood vessels. 2. This rat sequence may represent the receptor for calcitonin-gene-related peptide or islet amyloid polypeptide. Both have binding activity in the lung and are potent vasodilators. The gene represented by this seq… Show more

“…This receptor was originally cloned as an orphan receptor member of the seventransmembrane domain G protein-linked receptor family and named calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) [48,49]. Subsequently, it was identified as the CGRP receptor [50].…”

“…However this work has been dicult to reproduce (Kennedy et al, 1998). Recent evidence suggests that both adrenomedullin and CGRP bind to the same seven transmembrane domain receptor, the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR, Njuki et al, 1993;Fluhmann et al, 1995). Interestingly, the speci®city of CRLR for these peptides is conferred by a novel family of single transmembrane proteins, termed receptor-activity modifying proteins (RAMPs, McLatchie et al, 1998).…”

“…Une régulation post-transcriptionnelle par la progesté-rone, augmentant la sensibilité au CGRP, a été décrite dans le myomètre de souris [13]. Le CRLR, identifié en 1993, est un RCPG [14] possédant 55% d'identité avec le CTR. On sait maintenant qu'il peut à la fois être un récepteur du CGRP et de l'ADM, selon la molécule RAMP qui lui est associée [8] (Figure 1).…”
