On Methods for the Measurement of the Apelin Receptor Ligand Apelin

Abstract Apelin exists in many isoforms, both in the circulation and in specific tissues. Apelin peptides have a short half-life but preservation before measurement is scarcely studied. Reproducible mass spectrometry methods to specifically measure a broad range of apelinergic peptide isoforms are c...
