GO Classification
Functions
hormone activity / protein-containing complex binding / signaling receptor binding
Processes
adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway / calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor signaling pathway / G protein-coupled receptor internalization / nervous system process involved in regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure / phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway / regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration / vasodilation
General 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. It also elevates platelet cAMP
