Calcitonin Receptor-Like Receptor 1 (CRLR or CGRPR) is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds the peptide hormone calcitonin and is involved in maintenance of calcium homeostasis, particularly with respect to bone formation and metabolism1.
When engaged with its substrate, calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), CGRPR activates cAMP-dependent pkA and PI3 kinase, which eventually leads to complex inhibitory as well as facilitator actions on Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor1.
CGRP receptor is a heterodimer composed of two proteins: a 7‐transmembrane domain type 2 G-protein coupled receptor called calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR), and receptor-activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1), a single-membrane-pass protein. RAMP1 serves as a transporter for CRLR to the cell surface and its absence leads to failure of binding with CRLR2.
CGRP and CGRPR are ubiquitously expressed and their interaction is related to various diseases and health states such as migraines3 and Alzheimer's disease1.

Anti-CRLR/CALCRL (extracellular) Antibody (#ACR-060) is a highly specific antibody directed against an epitope of the human protein. The antibody can be used in western blot, immunohistochemistry and indirect live cell flow cytometry. It has been designed to recognize CRLR from human, rat, and mouse samples.
