Data Sheet
Background: Amylin receptors are multimeric complexes and have been closely associated with Calcitonin receptor (CT). CT, in the presence of the receptor activity modifying proteins (RAMP1, RAMP2 and RAMP3), forms pharmacologically distinct Amylin subtypes (AMY1, AMY2 and AMY3) which acts as a high affinity receptor for amylin, a hormone secrete by B cell of pancreas that has a major role in glucose regulation. The Calcitonin/RAMP1 complex has been known as the Amylin subtype AMY1 receptor.
Application: Functional assays

Receptor expression on cell surface measured by flow cytometry (FACS) using an anti-FLAG antibody. Thin line: parental cells; thick line: receptor-expressing cells.
