General description

Acts as a mitogenic factor for embryonic neurons in the sympathetic nervous system. Has powerful hypotensive and vasodilatory effects. Behaves either as a circulating hormone or as a neurotransmitter. Stimulates cAMP production in rat peritoneal macrophages. Inhibits the growth of human small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that it may be useful as a less toxic alternative to conventional chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of SCLC. Nitric oxide stimulates the release of this peptide.
Acts as a mitogenic factor for embryonic neurons in the sympathetic nervous system. Has powerful hypotensive and vasodilatory effects. Behaves either as a circulating hormone or as a neurotransmitter. Stimulates cAMP production in rat peritoneal macrophages. Nitric oxide stimulates the release of this peptide. Inhibits human small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) in nude mice both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that it may be useful as a less toxic alternative to conventional chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of SCLC.

Bidirectional fluxes of Cl- across isolated and stripped goldfish intestinal epithelium mounted in Ussing-type chambers increased after addition of 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP), suggesting an increase of the paracellular permeability for Cl-. Confirming this, the addition of 8-Br-cAMP to the
