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.
KEGG Pathway
Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction (hsa04080 )
Vascular smooth muscle contraction (hsa04270 )
Reactome Pathway
Calcitonin-like ligand receptors (R-HSA-419812 )
ADORA2B mediated anti-inflammatory cytokines production (R-HSA-9660821 )
G alpha (s) signalling events (R-HSA-418555 )
