Receptors for calcitonin gene-related peptide, adrenomedullin, and amylin: the contributions of novel receptor-activity-modifying proteins.
Receptors & Channels 2002
The discovery of receptor-activity-modifying proteins (RAMP) revealed a new principle for the function of G protein-coupled receptors. The initially orphan calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) was identified as a CGRP receptor when coexpressed with RAMP1. The same receptor is specific for adrenomedullin (ADM) in the presence of RAMP2. Calcitonin receptors (CTR) with 60% homology to the CRLR predominantly recognize calcitonin in the absence of RAMP. An amylin/CGRP receptor was recognized when a calcitonin receptor (CTR) was coexpressed with RAMP1. In the presence of RAMP3, the CTR only interacts with amylin. Noncovalent association of the RAMP with the CRLR or the CTR reveals heterodimeric RAMP/receptor complexes at the cell surface. Thus, two Class II G protein-coupled receptors, the CRLR and CTR, associate with three RAMP to form high affinity receptors for CGRP, ADM, or amylin. Here, the molecular composition and the functional properties of these receptors is reviewed.
