MR-pro-ADM (mid-regional-pro-adrenomedullin) is a 47-residue long peptide, produced during posttranslational processing of adrenomedullin. It has a molecular weight of 5.1kDa. Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a vasodilator peptide, which is produced and released by a wide variety of cells such as, macrophages, fibroblasts, cardiomyocytes etc. MR-pro-ADM functions as a substitute marker for ADM. This peptide is coded by the gene localized to human chromosome 11p15.4, which is composed of four exons and three introns.

a synthetic peptide corresponding to the internal region of human Adrenomedullin (ADM) , conjugated to KLH.
Biochem/physiol Actions
In hemodialysis patients increased plasma levels of MR-pro-ADM (mid-regional-pro-adrenomedullin) is linked with decreased survival. This is due to increased vasodilation in response to higher levels of MR-pro-ADM; lower levels of this peptide result in increased vasoconstriction and hence, better prognosis. This peptide is also associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients. In type II diabetic patients, MR-pro-ADM peptide is linked with renal outcome, as adrenomedullin (ADM) gene regulates susceptibility to nephropathic progression.

Adrenomedullin (AM) is a vasodilator peptide first identified in pheochromocytoma tissue, but endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells actively secrete AM in addition to expressing AM receptors. AM dilates blood vessels through its direct action on the smooth muscle
Plasma Adrenomedullin and Allelic Variation in the ADM Gene and Kidney Disease in People With Type 2 Diabetes.
Vasopressin, endothelin and adrenomedullin are vasoactive peptides that regulate vascular tone and might play a role in hypertensive diseases. Recently, laboratory assays have been developed to measure stable fragments of vasopressin, endothelin and adrenomedullin. Little is known about their diagnostic

High levels of the plasma peptides mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) and mid-regional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) are associated with clinical outcomes in the general population. Data in patients with chronic kidney disease are sparse. We therefore investigated the association of MR-proANP
