Receptor diversity for the calcitonin peptide family is created by the interaction of two 7-transmembrane proteins--the calcitonin receptor (CTR) or the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CL-R)--with the receptor activity modifying protein (RAMP) family. The discovery of heterodimeric complexes of these proteins heralded a new era in the study of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), whereby receptor phenotype is no longer governed by just the GPCR. In this article, recent advances in the study of RAMPs are discussed--from our current understanding of the molecular basis of RAMP-receptor interaction to a broader role for RAMPs outside the calcitonin receptor family.
