Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) II, human

*This product has been discontinued!*

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide is a potent hypotensive agent and a member of the calcitonin/CGRP multigene complex. This peptide is 37 amino acids long and contains one disulfide bridge. It is highly conserved among species indicating its importance as a vasoactive peptide and shares homology with amylin, adrenomedullin and calcitonin. It has been suggested that these peptides may have shared an ancestral gene. CGRP has been shown to elevate the flow of blood and enhance the contractibility of the atrium.
