Receptor biology is a rapidly expanding field and with the advances in cell and molecular biology and in vivo techniques, it is very likely that the field of RAMPs will explode further and many unanswered questions will be answered with in the next few years..

Regulation of GPCR Trafficking by RAMPs,ting to suggest that the RAMP isoform in complex with CLR may play a role in determining the intracellular trafficking and fate of ligand-stimulated receptor complexes. In this chapter, we will review the current literature on mechanisms of regulating receptor trafficking and roles that have been demonstrated for RAMPs in this regulation.

Introduction to Ramps, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) to the plasma membrane. Since its discovery in 1998, several pivotal advances have been made in understanding the function of this family of proteins. This chapter provides a basic introduction to RAMPs as well as details on the various chapters in this book.
