Agonist Comments
The AMY2 receptor is a heterodimeric complex of the calcitonin receptor and RAMP2 [9]]. The variability in potency values reported is likely to reflect cell background such as the presence of other endogenous RAMPs and the calcitonin receptor-like receptor [11]. It is difficult to ascertain the contribution of such factors to the reported values.
Human amylin is rarely used because of its propensity to aggregate.

Lung > fundus (stomach) > spleen, brainstem, hypothalamus > liver, cortex, cerebellum.
Note: At present there is virtually no information on the co-localisation of CT with RAMP2. This data is based on the binding of [125I]-amylin and so is an aggregate for AMY1, AMY2 and AMY3 receptors.

Biologically Significant Variants Click here for help
Type:  Splice variants
Species:  Human
Description:  AMY2 receptors are formed by the interaction of RAMP2 with the CT receptor and its splice variants. The human CT(b) (formerly CTR1 or CTRI1+) receptor is of identical sequence to the human CT(a) receptor but contains a 16 amino acid insert in the first intracellular loop.
