About CALCA Peptides (CGRP family)
CALCA gene encodes calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and related peptides. CGRP is a potent vasodilator involved in migraine pathophysiology. Antagonists (gepants) used for migraine, not the peptide itself therapeutically.
Research Notes
CGRP important in migraine pathophysiology. Multiple antagonists (ubrogepant, rimegepant, etc.) FDA-approved. Peptide itself not used therapeutically.
Potential Side Effects
- •Therapeutic use is antagonists
Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any peptide therapy.
