Calcitonin receptor-like (CALCRL), also known as the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR), is a human protein; it is a receptor for calcitonin gene-related peptide.[5]

Function

The protein encoded by the CALCRL gene is a G protein-coupled receptor related to the calcitonin receptor. CALCRL is linked to one of three single transmembrane domain receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs) that are essential for functional activity.

The association of CALCRL with different RAMP proteins produces different receptors:[6][7]

  • with
    CGRP
    receptor
  • with RAMP2: produces an adrenomedullin (AM) receptor, designated AM1[8]
  • with RAMP3: produces a dual CGRP/AM receptor designated AM2

These receptors are linked to the

(cAMP).

CGRP receptors are found throughout the body, suggesting that the protein may modulate a variety of physiological functions in all major systems (e.g.,

Wounds

In wounds, CGRP receptors found in

botox have been demonstrated to block CGRP cascade, thereby allowing immune system involvement and control of pathogens, resulting in complete control and recovery.[11]

Structure

CALCRL associated with RAMP1 produces the CGRP receptor which is a trans-membrane protein receptor that is made up of four chains. Two of the four chains contain unique sequences. It is a heterodimer protein composed of two polypeptide chains differing in composition of their amino acid residues. The sequence reveals multiple hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions throughout the four chains in the protein.[12]

The CGRP family of receptors including CALCRL can couple to G-protein

transmembrane helix 5) and TM6 to pivot around TM3 which in turn facilitates Gαs binding.[14]

Expression

The RNA expression charts show a high level in fetal lung.

Clinical significance

Calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists are approved for the treatment of migraine.
