IC50: 1 nM (CRLR/RAMP1, cell assay), 300 nM (CRLR/RAMP2, cell assay)[1]
β-CGRP, human TFA acts via the complex of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) and receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs). It has IC50 values of 1 nM for CRLR/RAMP1 and 300 nM for CRLR/RAMP2 in cells. As a potent vasodilatory neuropeptide, β-CGRP plays critical roles in cardiovascular regulation, nociception, and migraine pathophysiology. |

| ln Vitro |
Human β-CGRP is a calcitonin peptide that functions via a complex of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) and receptor activity modifying protein (RAMP) with an IC50 of 1 nM. NG108-15 and HEK293T cells that express CRLR and RAMP2 express 130 nM and 300 nM, respectively [1]. SK-N-MC and Swiss 3T3 cells both express CRLR and RAMP1, and SK-N-MC and Swiss 3T3 cells express both CRLR and RAMP1 [1]. In addition to being a strong vasodilator, CGRP has anti- and pro-inflammatory properties [2].
In vitro studies have characterized β-CGRP, human TFA as a calcitonin peptide that acts through the CRLR/RAMP receptor complex. In cell-based assays, the peptide shows IC50 values of 1 nM and 300 nM for CRLR/RAMP1 and CRLR/RAMP2, respectively. These in vitro activities demonstrate the peptide's potent receptor activation capabilities and its utility in studying CGRP receptor pharmacology. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of β-CGRP has been extensively studied in animal models. As a potent vasodilator, β-CGRP induces vasodilation and modulates cardiovascular function in vivo. The peptide is involved in pain transmission and has been implicated in migraine pathophysiology. In animal studies, β-CGRP is typically administered via intravenous or other routes to study its effects on blood pressure, vascular tone, and nociceptive responses. Dosing regimens vary depending on the specific study objectives.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For non-cellular assays, β-CGRP, human TFA is characterized by standard analytical techniques including HPLC and mass spectrometry to confirm identity and purity. The peptide can be evaluated in receptor binding assays using membrane preparations expressing CRLR/RAMP complexes. Typical protocols involve incubating the peptide with receptor preparations and measuring binding affinity or receptor activation. The peptide is supplied as a solid and should be stored under appropriate conditions.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell-based studies, β-CGRP, human TFA is dissolved in appropriate buffers and diluted in cell culture medium to working concentrations. Cells expressing CRLR/RAMP receptors are treated with the peptide to assess receptor activation, signaling pathway activation, or downstream functional responses. The peptide shows IC50s of 1 nM and 300 nM for CRLR/RAMP1 and CRLR/RAMP2 in cells. Appropriate controls should be included in the experimental design.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, β-CGRP, human TFA is typically administered via intravenous injection or other routes depending on the study design. The peptide is used to study vasodilation, cardiovascular function, pain transmission, and migraine mechanisms in animal models. Dosing solutions should be freshly prepared using appropriate vehicles. Dosing regimens and administration protocols follow approved animal welfare guidelines and institutional protocols.
