摘要: Elabela, a bioactive micropeptide, is recognized as the second endogenous ligand for the
Apelin receptor and is widely distributed in different tissues and organs. Elabela plays an important
role in various physiological processes, such as blood pressure control, heart morphogenesis, apoptosis,
angiogenesis, cell proliferation, migration, etc. Elabela is also implicated in pathological conditions,
like cardiac dysfunctions, heart failure, hypertension, kidney diseases, cancer and CNS disorders.
The association of Elabela with these disease conditions makes it a potential target for their
therapy. This review summarizes the physiological role of Elabela peptide as well as its implication
in various disease conditions.
