Identification and quantification of plasma free salusin-β, an endogenous parasympathomimetic peptide

Abstract Salusin-β is an endogenous parasympathomimetic proatherosclerotic peptide. Salusin-β was initially predicted from bioinformatic analyses and later immunologically detected in human biofluids. However, elucidation of salusin-β bioactivity has faced enormous challenges because of its unique p...
