Adrenomedullin (ADM or AM) consists of 52 amino acids, and is a potent hypotensive and vasodilatator agent. It was initially isolated in 1993 from a pheochromocytoma, a tumor of the adrenal medulla. ADM is found in blood in a considerable concentration and may function as a hormone related to the physiologic control of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. It has also been reported that ADM stimulates the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and increasing the tolerance of cells to oxidative stress and hypoxic injury.

Standard, biotinylated peptide, and positive control should be stored at -20°C after arrival. Avoid multiple freeze-thaws. The remaining kit components may be stored at 4°C. Opened microplate wells and antibody (Item N) may be stored for up to 1 month at 2° to 8°C. Return unused wells to the pouch containing desiccant pack and reseal along entire edge.
