| Specificity |
ABS 026-04 binds human α-CGRP. Based on inhibition ELISA, ABS 026-04 cross-reacts up to 12% with human β-CGRP and human amylin, while there is little (<4%) cross-reaction with rat α-CGRP.The epitope lies within residues 19-37 of human α-CGRP. |

| Target |
Calcitonin gene-related peptide is a 37 amino acid vasoactive neuropeptide (MW 3789) widely expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous system. CGRP has potent vasodilatory effects probably serving as a regulator of regional blood flow, in addition to a variety of other cellular effects. |
