..., with extremely high levels of expression in the lung, where it is associated with the blood vessels. 2. This rat sequence may represent the receptor for calcitonin-gene-related peptide or islet amyloid polypeptide. Both have binding activity in the lung and are potent vasodilators. The gene represented...

...C. Tsigos; L. T. Diemel; A. White; D. R. Tomlinson; R. J. Young 1. Lumbar spinal substance P and calcitonin-gene-related peptide derive from spillage out of the dorsal horns associated with activity of small primary sensory afferents (C- and Aδ-fibres). Cerebrospinal fluid and sural nerve levels...

...Bing Sun; Anthony P. Davenport; Morris J. Brown 1. Binding sites for calcitonin-gene-related peptide were localized and characterized in porcine coronary arteries using quantitative autoradiography, and the density of binding sites was compared between large epicardial and small intramyocardial...

... in vasoactive-intestinal-polypeptide-like and a decrease in calcitonin-gene-related-peptide-like immunoreactivity in the myenteric plexus of the diabetic rat ileum, although electrically evoked release of both peptides from enteric nerves was defective. Acute application of insulin in vitro reversed...
