CGRP receptor is a heterodimer formed by calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR), a type II (family B) G-protein-coupled receptor, and receptor-activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1), a single-membrane-pass protein. RAMP1 is needed for CGRP binding and also cell-surface expression of CLR. CLR is an example of a family B GPCR.

CGRP is a neuropeptide abundant in the trigeminal system and widely expressed in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. CGRP has several functions including vasodilation, the perception of painful stimuli, and inflammation. CGRP exerts its biological action by interacting with its receptors. There are two types of CGRP receptors, CGRP-A and CGRP-B.

  • HY-12366S
    Ubrogepant-d5
    		Antagonist
    Ubrogepant-d5 (MK-1602-d5) is deuterium labeled Ubrogepant. Ubrogepant (MK-1602) is an orally active and selective antagonist of calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor (CGRP). Ubrogepant has high affinity for CGRP receptors in human and rhesus monkeys, and can effectively block the cAMP response stimulated by α-CGRP. Ubrogepant can be used in the study of acute migraine.
