RAMPs regulate the transport and ligand specificity of the calcitonin-receptor-like receptor

Abstract: Calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) and adrenomedullin are related peptides with distinct pharmacological profiles. Here we show that a receptor with seven transmembrane domains, the calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR), can function as either a CGRP receptor or an adrenomedullin receptor, depending on which members of a new family of single-transmembrane-domain proteins, which we have called receptor-activity-modifying proteins or RAMPs, are expressed. RAMPs are required to transport CRLR to the plasma… Show more

“…The CGRP system can also be augmented by increased receptor signaling. The CGRP receptor is a trimer of proteins, consisting of the CLR and 2 accessory proteins, receptor activity-modifying protein 1 and RCP (45). RCP enhances signaling at the CGRP receptor (26), and in previous studies, expression of RCP correlated with increased CGRP efficacy during gestation (46).…”

“…The receptor for CGRP consists of a complex of a seven transmembrane-spanning protein, calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR), a single transmembrane-spanning protein designated receptor activity modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) [8] and an intracellular protein, receptor component protein (RCP) [9]. Recently, CGRP antagonists have been developed with clinical efficacy for the treatment of acute migraine attacks [10-12].…”

“…First, similar to many other membrane proteins, receptors must be correctly folded in order to pass the ER quality control mechanism [3,4]. Second, export from the ER and further transport to the cell surface of some G protein-coupled receptors requires specific accessory proteins or chaperones [5][6][7][8]. Interaction of the receptors with chaperones may regulate correct folding/assembly of the receptors within the ER and facilitates receptor transport from the ER and on to the cell surface.…”
