Adrenomedullin (1-50), rat

Description: Adrenomedullin (1-50), rat, is a 50 amino acid peptide that induces selective arterial vasodilation via activation of the CGRP1 receptor. This peptide hormone is expressed in rat adrenal glands, lung, kidney, heart, and spleen, as well as in the duodenum and submandibular glands. References: Berthiaume N, et al.
