CALCB
CALCB (calcitonin-related polypeptide beta) encodes calcitonin gene-related peptide beta (CGRP-beta), a neuropeptide expressed mainly in enteric and peripheral sensory neurons that acts as a potent vasodilator and pain-signaling molecule, most studied in migraine biology. In this dataset the CALCB locus is flagged as a genome-wide association signal within the broader vitamin D sun-response context group rather than through a well-characterized direct role in vitamin D metabolism.
