- Product Overview:
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide.{41395} It exists in two major forms that share greater than 90% sequence homology, ?-CGRP that is produced by alternative RNA splicing of the calcitonin gene CALCI and ?-CGRP that is encoded by CALCII in humans. CGRP is primarily expressed in A and C? fibers and exhibits perivascular localization but is also expressed in keratinocytes and endothelial progenitor cells.{41395,53682} CGRP binds to a heteromeric complex of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) and receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) and has roles in efferent function, nociception, and vasodilation. Levels of CGRP are increased in various pain states, including migraine. It also suppresses TNF-?, increases fibroblast motility and extracellular matrix synthesis, and induces Schwann cell proliferation to facilitate peripheral nerve regeneration following injury.{53683} Cayman’s CGRP Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 4901) can be used for ICC applications.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
