CALCB

Gene
Calcb
Protein
Calcitonin gene-related peptide 2
Organism
Rattus norvegicus
Length
134 amino acids
Function
CGRP induces vasodilation. It dilates a variety of vessels including the coronary, cerebral and systemic vasculature. Its abundance in the CNS also points toward a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator role.
Similarity
Belongs to the calcitonin family.
