Calcitonin gene-related protein (CGRP) (8-37) is a CGRP receptor antagonist.1 It corresponds to amino acids 8-37 of rodent α-CGRP (Item No. 24728), a neuropeptide. CGRP (8-37) selectively binds to heterotrimeric complexes of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) and receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) or RAMP3 (IC50s = 1 and 6.2 nM, respectively) over a complex of CRLR and RAMP2 (IC50 = 219 nM). It prevents CGRP-induced increases in heart rate and decreases in blood pressure in transgenic mice expressing rat CRLR in smooth muscle-containing tissues and sympathetic ganglia when administered at a dose of 2 µmol/kg.2 CGRP (8-37) also inhibits p-phenylquinone-induced writhing (ED50 = 6 µg/animal) and decreases body temperature in a dose-dependent manner in mice.3
