To form the full AMYR complex, the calcitonin receptor must bind to one of three RAMPs | To form the full AMYR complex, the calcitonin receptor must bind to one of three RAMPs: <scene name='10/1037520/Ramp1/1'>RAMP1</scene>, <scene name='10/1037520/Ramp2/1'>RAMP2</scene>, <scene name='10/1037520/Ramp3/3'>RAMP3</scene>. The three RAMPs have 31% sequence identity and bind very similarly to the CT, except RAMP2 has slightly looser packing<ref name="Cao">PMID:35324283</ref>. All three RAMPs serve the purpose of drastically increasing the CT’s binding affinity for amylin. RAMP3 is the version most heavily implicated in pramlintide targeting and Alzheimer’s Disease. | ||
