Adrenomedullin is a member of the calcitonin family of peptides and functions as a vasodilator. Adrenomedullin, a hypotensive peptide, consists of 52 amino acids, has 1 intramolecular disulfide bond, and shows a slight homology with the calcitonin gene related peptide. Human adrenomedullin mRNA was found to be highly expressed in several tissues. Adrenomedullain is secreted from a number of tissues including the adrenal medulla, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. It has been implicated in a number of diseases including cardiovascular and renal disorders, sepsis, inflammation, diabetes and cancer.
