mRNA expression of novel CGRP1 receptors and their activity-modifying proteins in hypoxic rat lung

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a potent vasodilator. Our group has reported that exogenous CGRP may prevent or reverse hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in rats. The vasodilatory action of CGRP is mediated primarily by CGRP1 receptors.
