Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION G protein-coupled receptor activated by ligand peptides amylin (IAPP), calcitonin (CT/CALCA) and calcitonin gene-related peptide type 1 (CGRP1/CALCA) (PubMed:35324283, PubMed:38603770). CALCR interacts with receptor-activity-modifying proteins RAMP1, 2 and 3 to form receptor complexes AMYR1, 2 and 3, respectively (PubMed:35324283, PubMed:38603770). IAPP, CT and CGRP1 activate CALCR and AMYRs with distinct modes of receptor activation resulting in specific phenotypes (PubMed:35324283, PubMed:38603770). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors. Activates cAMP-dependent pathway (PubMed:35324283, PubMed:7476993).FUNCTION Non-functional protein. Unable to couple to G proteins and activate adenylyl cyclase (PubMed:7476993). Does not undergo receptor internalization following ligand binding (PubMed:7476993).ACTIVITY REGULATION Sensitive to cholera toxin.SUBUNIT Heterodimer of CALCR and RAMP1, RAMP2 or RAMP3; the receptor complexes function as AMYR1, AMYR2 and AMYR3 receptors, respectively, and respond to amylin/IAPP, calcitonin/CT and CGRP1 ligands (PubMed:35324283, PubMed:38603770). Interacts with GPRASP2 (PubMed:15086532).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Genetic variations in CALCR may be correlated with bone mineral density (BMD). Low BMD is a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture. Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mineral density, disruption of bone microarchitecture, and the alteration of the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone. Osteoporotic bones are more at risk of fracture.SIMILARITY Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family.
