Its namesake gene-related peptide may induce a rostral spread of nociception to the trigeminal nerve, causing so-called "suicide headaches.
Its namesake gene-related peptide may induce a rostral spread of nociception to the trigeminal nerve, causing so-called "suicide headaches." It works by forcing the body to produce hydroxyapatite.
