calcitonin (human)

Endogenous calcitonin receptor agonist. Lowers systemic blood calcium levels and inhibits bone resorption.

Adrenomedullin (AM) (22-52), human acetate is an antagonist of calcitonin generelated peptide receptor in the hindlimb vascular bed of the cat and an adrenomedullin receptor.

Tyr-α-CGRP is an N-terminal extended tyrosinated analogue of α-calcitonin gene-related peptide . It binds to amylin receptors AMY1 and AMY3 in COS-7 cells expressing the human receptors (IC50s = 141 and 1.86 nM, respectively). Tyr-α-CGRP also binds to and stimulates cAMP accumulation in rat L6 myocytes (IC50 = 4 nM; EC50 = 12 nM). It also binds to rat brain and spleen membrane preparations (IC50s = 0.2 and 0.5 nM, respectively), induces positive chronotropic and inotropic effects in isolated right and left guinea pig atria (EC50s = 282 and 74 nM, respectively), and inhibits the twitch response in rat vas deferens (EC50 = 1.9 nM).

β-CGRP, human ,a 37-amino acid peptide,is the beta form of Calcitonin-gene-related peptide (β-CGRP), involved extensively in regulation of the cardiovascular and nervous systems. β-CGRP contains a disulphide bridge at the N-terminus, a C-terminal phenylal

β-CGRP,human tissue is one of the calcitonin peptide, through complex behavior of calcitonin receptor like receptor (CRLR) - and receptor activity - modifying proteins (increased), and 1 and 300 - nM CRLR IC50s/RAMP1 and CRLR/RAMP2 cells.

HCGRP-(8-37) acetate is a human calcitonin gene-related peptide (hCGRP) fragment acetate and also an antagonist of CGRP receptor.

Endogenous peptide product of human prepro-VIP and analog of porcine PHI-27; potent agonist for the human calcitonin receptor (EC50 = 11 nM). Transgenic mice expressing the human VIP/PHM 27 gene in pancreatic β-islets display enhanced glucose-induced insu

PHM-27 (human) acetate is the endogenous peptide product of prepro-VIP (human), an agonist of the calcitonin receptor (EC 50 = 11 nM). Transgenic mice overexpressing PHM-27 (human) acetate in pancreatic β-islets exhibited enhanced glucose-induced insulin secretion.
