This antibody recognises Calcitonin gene-related peptide, also known as CGRP, a neuropeptide that acts as a vasodilator and plays a role in in the pathophysiology of migraine. Goat anti Rat Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide antibody reacts with both the whole molecule (amino acids 1-37) and the C-terminal fragment (23-37).
