Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide

Descriptor Spanish:

Péptido Relacionado con Gen de Calcitonina

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	péptido relacionado con el gen de calcitonina
Entry term(s)	alfa-CGRP beta-CGRP péptido relacionado con el gen de la calcitonina alfa péptido relacionado con el gen de la calcitonina beta
Scope note:	Péptido de 37 aminoácidos derivado del gen de la calcitonina. Se produce como resultado del procesamiento alternativo del ARNm del gen de la calcitonina. El neuropéptido está en casi todo el tejido neural del encéfalo, tracto gastrointestinal, nervios perivasculares y otros tejidos. El péptido produce múltiples efectos biológicos y funciona tanto como neurotransmisor como en el torrente circulatorio. En particular, es un potente vasodilatador endógeno.

Scope note:

A 37-amino acid peptide derived from the calcitonin gene. It occurs as a result of alternative processing of mRNA from the calcitonin gene. The neuropeptide is widely distributed in the brain, gut, perivascular nerves, and other tissue. The peptide produces multiple biological effects and has both circulatory and neurotransmitter modes of action. In particular, it is a potent endogenous vasodilator.
