Receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs) are a class of protein which interact with and modulate the activities of several Class B G Protein-Coupled Receptors including the receptors for secretin calcitonin (CT) glucagon and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) There are three distinct types of RAMPs designated RAMP1 RAMP2 and RAMP3 each encoded by a separate gene Currently the function of RAMPs is divided into 2 class activities Association of RAMPs with either the CT or CALCR proteins forms 6 different receptors from the calcitonin receptor family When associated with the Calcitonin receptor (CTR) or Calcitonin receptor-like (CALCRL) RAMPs can change the selectivity of the receptor for a specific hormone In the cases of the other receptors mentioned however there is no evidence that they can do this but instead function to regulate trafficking of receptors from the ER / golgi to the membrane GenScript s cloned human AMY2 (RAMP2 CALCR) expressing cell line is gen
