Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide

Calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP) is a 37-amino acid neuropeotide, it is a member of calcitonin family of peptides, it is consisting of calcitonin, amylin, adrenomedullin, adrenomedullin 2, and calcitonin‑receptor‑stimulating peptide.

CGRP has protective mechanisms in the cardiovascular system, it is a highly potent vasodilator.  It is secreted and stored in the nervous system with two forms: CGRP alpha (α-CGRP or CGRP I), and CGRP beta (β-CGRP or CGRP II).
