Abstract
A 52 amino acid peptide, with one intramolecular disulphide bond, and sharing limited sequence homology with calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), CGRPII, and amylin. Adrenomedullin is found normally in the adrenal medulla but not in brain, and it circulates in blood. It is a potent hypotensive agent and has been found in high concentrations in phaeochromocytoma tissue.
