Figure 2: Blood pressure-lowering activity of TAM-a.
From: Horizontal gene transfer of a vertebrate vasodilatory hormone into ticks
(a) Right: the predicted mature active form of TAM-a. Left: mature rat ADM-1. Red indicates the two conserved Cys residues between TAM and vertebrate ADM, and yellow indicates amidated C-terminal Tyr residues. (b) Dose-dependent blood pressure-lowering activities of sTAM-a and rat ADM-1. Standard errors of the mean (s.e.m.) were calculated based on the data sets obtained from five replicates. Open squares indicate sTAM-a and closed squares indicate rat ADM-1.
