Adrenomedullin/ADM: Proteins and Enzymes

Adrenomedullin (ADM; also AM) is a secreted, monomeric, 6 kDa member of the Adrenomedullin family of molecules. It is widely expressed, being found in smooth muscle cells, endothelium, adrenal medulla chromaffin cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes. ADM has multiple functions, including vasodilation, the maintenance of vascular integrity, and the suppression of inflammatory mediator secretion. The human ADM preproprecursor is 185 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 21 aa signal sequence, ...
