Think βCGRP is just αCGRP’s understudy? Think again.
New research shows that βCGRP triggers distinct receptor signaling profiles across the CGRP receptor family, challenging the long-held assumption of redundancy.
🔬 A closer look reveals differences in G protein coupling, second messenger production, and receptor trafficking.
📊 This could reshape how we understand CGRP-related physiology—and how we target it in drug design.
🧠 Pain, inflammation, metabolism: the implications go far beyond signaling bias.
