Function
- potent hypotensive agent & vasodilatator
- control of fluid & electrolyte homeostasis
- in the kidney
- diuretic & natriuretic
- inhibits aldosterone secretion by direct adrenal actions
- in pituitary gland
- inhibits basal ACTH secretion
- appear to act in brain & pituitary gland to facilitate loss of plasma volume, contributing to hypotensive effect
- inhibits basal ACTH secretion
Structure
belongs to the adrenomedullin family
Compartment
Expression
- highest levels found in pheochromocytoma & adrenal medulla
- also found in lung, ventricle & kidney tissues
Pathology
- plasma ADM associated with loneliness[3]
