RAMP1 Membrane Protein Introduction

Introduction of RAMP1

Receptor Activity Modification Protein 1 (RAMP1) is a protein encoded by RAMP1 gene in humans. It is a member of the RAMP family, which are also known as single-transmembrane domain proteins called receptor (calcitonin) activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs). RAMP1 is a type I transmembrane protein consist of an extracellular N-terminus and a cytoplasmic C-terminus.

Function of RAMP1 Membrane Protein

RAMP1 is required to transport the calciton receptor-receptor (CALCRL) onto the plasma membrane. CALCRL is a receptor with seven transmembrane domains that can act as a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor or adrenergic receptor, depending on how members of the slope family are expressed. In combination with RAMP proteins, CALCRL acts as a CGRP receptor. RAMPs have been shown to interact with g-protein-coupled receptors such as the calcitonin receptor, vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor (VIPR), calcitonin receptor, calcium-sensing receptor, parathyroid hormone receptor, high Glucagon receptor and corticotropin releasing factor receptor 1 to regulate their trafficking, pharmacological properties and signaling capabilities.

Application of RAMP1 Membrane Protein in Literature

  1. Li M., et al. Deficiency of RAMP1 Attenuates Antigen-Induced Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Mice. PLoS ONE. 2014,9 (7): e102356.PubMed ID: 25010197

    This article shows that the interface of the ramp-receptor is pharmacologically treatable, suggesting that it may be possible to develop compounds directed to the RAMP1/CLR interface to aid in the treatment of asthma.

    These data provide new insights into the role of RAMP1 in promoting prostate tumorigenesis and support the possibility of being a new biomarker and a potential therapeutic target in prostate cancer.

  3. Wan D., et al. DNA Methylation of RAMP1 Gene in Migraine: An Exploratory Analysis. The Journal of Headache and Pain2015, (16): 90. PubMed ID: 26501962

    This study provides the first evidence that DNA methylation of RAMP1 promoters may play a role in migraine.

    These results demonstrate the co-evolution of global GPCRs and RAMPs and support the hypothesis that GPCRs interact globally with RAMPs on cellular signaling pathways.
