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.
A 37-amino acid neuropeptide released from sensory nerve fibers and one of the most potent endogenous vasodilators. Central to migraine pathophysiology and studied for pain modulation, wound healing, and bone repair.

About Leu-Enkephalin
Binds delta and mu opioid receptors in the CNS and periphery. Modulates pain signal transmission in dorsal horn neurons. Also activates opioid receptors on immune cells, influencing cytokine production and immune cell trafficking.
An endogenous opioid pentapeptide involved in pain modulation, inflammation control, and immune regulation. One of the two classical enkephalins (with Met-enkephalin). Studied for chronic pain management and immune modulation.
