Abstract
CRSP is a member of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) family and consists of a single intramolecular ring structure and amidated C-terminus, which are common to family members. More than three types of CRSPs are present in pigs, dogs, cattle, goats, sheep, and horses, but not in humans, rats, or mice. Porcine CRSP-1 binds to the calcitonin receptor to decrease food intake, plasma calcium level, and locomotion activity in rats. CRSP is the most recently identified peptide of the CGRP family; therefore, large parts of its biological functions remain unclear.
