Description
Calcitonin gene-related peptide or CGRP is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide formed by alternative splicing of the calcitonin/CGRP gene. CGRP is a member of the calcitonin family of peptides consisting of calcitonin, amylin, adrenomedullin, adrenomedullin 2 (intermedin) and calcitonin‑receptor‑stimulating peptide. CGRP is produced in both peripheral and central neurons and induces vasodilation of a variety of
vessels including the coronary, cerebral and systemic vasculature. Its
abundance in the CNS also points toward a neurotransmitter or
neuromodulator role.
