Target type: molecularfunction
Binding to adrenomedullin (AM). [GOC:bhm, PMID:10882736]
Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a potent vasodilator peptide that exerts its effects through binding to a G protein-coupled receptor complex composed of the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) and the receptor activity-modifying protein 2 (RAMP2). Upon ADM binding, the CLR-RAMP2 complex activates intracellular signaling pathways, primarily involving the Gαs protein, leading to an increase in cAMP levels. This cAMP elevation ultimately results in the activation of protein kinase A (PKA), which phosphorylates various downstream targets. The activation of these pathways contributes to the vasodilatory effects of ADM by promoting relaxation of smooth muscle cells, increasing vascular permeability, and inhibiting the release of vasoconstrictors. Furthermore, ADM binding has been shown to stimulate the release of nitric oxide (NO) from endothelial cells, further enhancing vasodilation. The molecular function of ADM binding is therefore characterized by a complex interplay of receptor activation, signaling pathway modulation, and downstream effector activation, ultimately leading to the regulation of vascular tone and other physiological processes.'
