Abstract: Presents research which showed the functions of the calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR). CRLR a receptor for calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) or the adrenomedullin peptide; Determination of which peptide CRLR acts as a receptor for; Importance of receptor-activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs); Roles for RAMP1 and RAMP2.
