There has been considerable difficulty in defining distinct adrenomedullin (AM) binding sites and function in vivo. However, a rat adrenomedullin receptor (rAMR) and a putative human adrenomedullin receptor (hAMR) have recently been reported. We attempted to confirm and extend the pharmacological characterization of these cloned receptors. COS-7 cells transfected with rAMR or epitope tagged rAMR display abundant rAMR mRNA expression and cell-surface receptor localization. Specific 125I-AM binding is detected in transfected cells; however, similar levels of binding are also detected in cells transfected with vector DNA alone. This AM binding site fails to mediate any changes in cAMP in response to AM. In contrast, Swiss 3T3 cells, expressing specific endogenous AM receptors, display AM binding and functional cAMP responses. Transfection studies performed with the putative hAMR yield similar results. These data suggest that the proposed rAMR and hAMR do not represent authentic adrenomedullin receptors.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001667 Binding, Competitive The interaction of two or more substrates or ligands with the same binding site. The displacement of one by the other is used in quantitative and selective affinity measurements. Competitive Binding
D014162 Transfection The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES. Transfections
D016475 3T3 Cells Cell lines whose original growing procedure consisted being transferred (T) every 3 days and plated at 300,000 cells per plate (J Cell Biol 17:299-313, 1963). Lines have been developed using several different strains of mice. Tissues are usually fibroblasts derived from mouse embryos but other types and sources have been developed as well. The 3T3 lines are valuable in vitro host systems for oncogenic virus transformation studies, since 3T3 cells possess a high sensitivity to CONTACT INHIBITION. 3T3 Cell,Cell, 3T3,Cells, 3T3
