Receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs) are transmembrane accessory proteins that influence the pharmacological profiles of the calcitonin receptor-like receptors (CRLR).
RAMPs associate with CRLR in the endoplasmic reticulum and facilitate the glycosylation and transport of CRLR to the cell surface, where the mature protein then operates as a receptor for two structurally related vasodilatory peptides, calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) or adrenomedullin (ADM) .
RAMP-1 associating with CRLR confers a CGRP receptor, while RAMP-2 and RAMP-3 preferentially induce a responsiveness to ADM .
RAMP proteins, including RAMP-1, RAMP-2 and RAMP-3, are structurally similar as they are type I receptors, which have a single extracellular N-terminus and a cytoplasmic C-terminus, and they share ~55% sequence similarity.
RAMP-1 expression is highest in the uterus, brain and gastrointestinal tract, whereas RAMP-2 and RAMP-3 are highest in lung, breast and fetal tissues.
