proadrenomedullin , human

Proadrenomedullin (45-92), human, a mid-regional fragment of proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), consists of amino acids 45–92 of pre-proADM.

Endogenous peptide agonist of Mas related GPR X2 (MRGPRX2, EC50 = 251 nM). Also a noncompetitive nicotinic cholinergic antagonist. Inhibits nicotine-stimulated catecholamine secretion from PC12 cells in vitro, and from sympathetic nerve endings and adrena

Pro-Adrenomedullin(153-185),human, (C143H224N42O43), a peptide with the sequence H2N-SLPEAGPGRTLVSSKPQAHGAPAPPSGSAPHFL-OH, MW= 3219.6. Adrenomedullin (AM) is a ubiquitously expressed peptide initially isolated from phaechromyctoma in 19931. AM was initially identified as a vasodilator, some have cited this as the most potent endogenous vasodilatory peptide found in the body2. Differences in opinion regarding the ability of AM to relax vascular tone arises from the differences in the model system used3. Other effects of AM include increasing the tolerance of cells to oxidative stress and hypoxic injury and angiogenesis. AM is seen as a positive influence in diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other cardiovascular diseases, whereas it can be seen as a negative factor in potentiating the potential of cancerous cells to extend their blood supply and cause cell proliferation.

Proadrenomedullin N-terminal 12 peptide (PAMP-12) 是一种内源性肽段，源自人体肾上腺髓质，对应人类PAMP-20的9-20氨基酸，涉及降低血压。它是MAS相关G蛋白偶联受体家族成员X2 (MRGPRX2) 的激动剂。在表达人MRGPRX2的CHO细胞中，PAMP-12抑制forskolin诱导的cAMP积累（EC50 = 57.2 nM），特异性诱导表达MRGPRX2的CHO细胞的钙离子动员（EC50 = 41 nM），而在表达MRGPRX1、MRGPRX3或MRGPRX4的细胞中则无此效应（在1 µM浓度下）。PAMP-12还能作为烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体（nAChRs）的拮抗剂，抑制carbachol诱导的儿茶酚胺释放（IC50 = 1.3 µM）及钙和钠的流入（IC50分别为0.39 µM和0.87 µM），但不抑制组胺诱导的儿茶酚胺释放或钙和钠的流入（IC50 >1 µM），在初级牛肾上腺嗜铬细胞中有此表现。当以10至50 nmol/kg剂量给予正常血压大鼠时，PAMP-12能降低平均动脉血压。
