???displayGene.geneFunction???
CALCB (Calcitonin Related Polypeptide Beta) is a human gene encoding the protein \(\beta \)-CGRP, a potent peptide vasodilator and neurotransmitter involved in sensory nerve transmission and inflammatory processes. It is closely related to \(\alpha \)-CGRP and plays a significant role in cardiovascular regulation and pain transmission in humans.
