Receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs) are a class of protein that interact with and modulate the activities of several Class B G protein-coupled receptors including the receptors for secretin, calcitonin (CT), glucagon, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP).[1] There are three distinct types of RAMPs in mammals (though more in fish), designated RAMP1, RAMP2, and RAMP3, each encoded by a separate gene.[2]

Function

Currently, the function of RAMPs is divided into classes of activities. When associated with the Calcitonin receptor (CTR) or Calcitonin receptor-like (CALCRL) (below), RAMPs can change the selectivity of the receptor for a specific hormone. In the cases of the other receptors mentioned, however, there is no evidence that they can do this, but instead function to regulate trafficking of receptors from the ER / golgi to the membrane. These functions appear to be ones where there is redundancy, as neither RAMP1 nor RAMP3 knockout mice (KO) have grossly abnormal phenotypes. The likelihood is that the phenotype of RAMP2 KO mice is more connected with the abolition of most adrenomedullin (AM) signalling than effects on trafficking of other receptors, as those mice are almost identical to AM KO mice and mice lacking the Calcitonin-like receptor which are unable to form either AM1 or AM-2 adrenomedullin receptors (CLR/RAMP2 and CLR/RAMP3 respectively).

Types

Association of RAMPs with either the CT or CALCRL proteins forms 6 different receptors from the calcitonin receptor family:[3][4][5]

GPCR RAMP isoform resultant receptor
Calcitonin receptor-like RAMP1 CGRP receptor
RAMP2 adrenomedullin (AM) receptor, designated AM1[6]
RAMP3 dual CGRP/AM receptor, designated AM2
Calcitonin receptor RAMP1 amylin receptor AMY1
RAMP2 amylin receptor AMY2
RAMP3 amylin receptor AMY3
