摘要
The hypotensive and vasorelaxing peptides adrenomedullin (AM) and its gene-related peptide, proadrenomedullin N-terminal 20 peptide (PAW), were found to be distributed on the surface of the colonic mucosa. AM and PAMP showed dose-dependent antimicrobial activity against E coli. The results suggest that the novel vasoactive peptides AM and PAMP play an important role in mucosal defence.
