Abstract
⺠AM is a novel hypotensive peptide that exerts a variety of strongly protective effects against multiorgan damage. ⺠Many of the effects of AM are mediated via the RAMP2-based AM1 receptor. ⺠The evidence now suggests that the RAMP3-based AM2 receptor also has distinct functions in vivo. ⺠AM2 is an AM-related peptide whose biological actions are similar to those of AM. ⺠AM2 strongly interacts with the AM1 and AM2 receptors and may also bind to a unique receptor.
