Cerebrospinal fluid calcitonin gene-related peptide

Cerebrospinal fluid calcitonin gene-related peptide is a neuropeptide composed of 37 amino acids, which is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The cardiovascular system mainly exists in the innervation of cardiovascular sensory or autonomic nerve endings. It is the central and peripheral nervous system. Important transmitter. Its biological activity is that by binding to a specific receptor, adenylate cyclase is activated to increase cAMP in the cell, and the second messenger cAMP mediates to produce a biological effect. It has strong vasodilation, positive myocardial inflection and time-varying effects, participates in the regulation of blood glucose, can inhibit lipid peroxidation, and protects a variety of tissue cells.
