Adrenomedullin

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A 52-amino acid peptide with multi-functions. It was originally isolated from PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA and ADRENAL MEDULLA but is widely distributed throughout the body including lung and kidney tissues. Besides controlling fluid-electrolyte homeostasis, adrenomedullin is a potent vasodilator and can inhibit pituitary ACTH secretion.     
Pharmacological Action Antihypertensive Agents; Bronchodilator Agents; Cardiotonic Agents; Vasodilator Agents 		Other names Proadrenomedullin N Terminal 20 Peptide; Proadrenomedullin N-Terminal 20 Peptide; Proadrenomedullin (1-20); PAMP(1-20)NH2; Adrenomedullin (1-52); ADM(1-52); ADM (1-52)
