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 it acts as a high affinity receptor for amylin, a hormone secrete by B cell of pancreas and has a major role in glucose regulation. The Calcitonin/RAMP1 complex has been known as the Amylin subtype AMY1 receptor.
