Calcrl Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; heart development; and positive regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum; endosome; and lysosome. Predicted to be part of CGRP receptor complex and adrenomedullin receptor complex. Predicted to be active in neuronal dense core vesicle and plasma membrane. Is expressed in dorsal root ganglion; jugular lymph sac; and lung epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary lymphedema. Orthologous to human CALCRL (calcitonin receptor like receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Calcrl often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
