About CGRP
Binds CLR/RAMP1 receptor complex. Causes vasodilation via cAMP/PKA/nitric oxide pathway. Modulates nociceptive signaling in the trigeminal system. Promotes bone healing and has anti-inflammatory effects in peripheral tissues.
About KPV
Derived from alpha-MSH; binds melanocortin receptors MC1R/MC3R to suppress NF-κB and inflammatory cytokines
