Calcrl Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable adrenomedullin binding activity; adrenomedullin receptor activity; and calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of smooth muscle contraction. Is active in neuronal dense core vesicle and synaptic vesicle. Biomarker of brain infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary lymphedema. Orthologous to human CALCRL (calcitonin receptor like receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 rat 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.
