Identification of the peptide region that folds native conformation in the early stage of the renaturation of reduced lysozyme.

abstract：:A newly identified human peptide, adrenomedullin (AM) increased cAMP levels with dose and time dependencies in a manner similar to that of human calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). The EC50 value of human AM is 2 x 10(-8) M which is slightly higher than that of CGRP (8.5 ...
