Recombinant Rat Adrenomedullin/ADM protein (His tag)

Adrenomedullin (ADM, also AM) is a secreted, monomeric, 6 kDa member of the Adrenomedullin family of molecules. It is widely expressed, being found in smooth muscle cells, endothelium, adrenal medulla chromaffin cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes. ADM has multiple functions, including vasodilation, the maintenance of vascular integrity, and the suppression of inflammatory mediator secretion. The ADM preproprecursor is 185 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 21 aa signal sequence, a processed 20 aa peptide termed PAMP (aa 22-41), an N-terminal propeptide (aa 45-91), the ADM precursor (amidation is required for maturation) (aa 94 143), and a C-terminal propeptide (aa 150-185) . The ADM precursor with a terminal Gly147 circulates naturally with bioactive, mature amidated ADM (aa 94 143) .

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
