Recombinant Human Receptor Activity-Modifying Protein 3

Source : E.coli. RAMP3 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 116 amino acids (24-118 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 13kDa. RAMP3 is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Receptor activity modifying protein 3 (RAMP3) belongs to the RAMP family of single-transmembrane-domain proteins, named receptor (calcitonin) activity modifying proteins (RAMPs). RAMP3 is needed to transport calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR) to the plasma membrane. CRLR acts as either a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor or an adrenomedullin receptor, depending on which members of the RAMP family are expressed. The existence of RAMP3 effects CRLR to function as an adrenomedullin receptor.
