MeSH definition : A 52-amino acid peptide with multi-functions. It was originally isolated from PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA
and ADRENAL MEDULLA but is widely distributed throughout the body including lung and
kidney tissues. Besides controlling fluid-electrolyte homeostasis, adrenomedullin
is a potent vasodilator and can inhibit pituitary ACTH secretion.;
