In 1993, Kitamura et al. [1] discovered a novel hypotensive peptide in human pheochromocytoma by means of monitoring the ability of extracted fractions to increase platelet cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), which they named adrenomedullin. Human adrenomedullin consists of 52 amino acids and has an intramolecular disulfide bond and C-terminal amide structure, which shows 27% homology with calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), suggesting that adrenomedullin belongs to the CGRP superfamily. Adrenomedullin immunoreactivity and its gene expression are . . . [Full Text of this Article]
