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.
