Maxadilan, the PAC1 Receptor, and Leishmaniasis
Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, 2008Maxadilan is a vasodilator peptide isolated from sand fly salivary glands. The vasodilator effects of maxadilan are mediated by the PAC1 receptor, although maxadilan and PACAP do not share sequence homology. Sand flies are the vector of the parasitic disease leishmaniasis.

Maxadilan Activates PAC1 Receptors Expressed in Xenopus laevis Melanophores
Pigment Cell Research, 2002Functional interactions between ligands and their cognate receptors can be investigated using the ability of melanophores from Xenopus laevis to disperse or aggregate their pigment granules in response to alterations in the intracellular levels of second messengers.

Expression of PAC1 receptor in rat thymus after irradiation
Regulatory Peptides, 2004In the present work, PAC1-R (G-protein-coupled receptor specific for PACAP) was detected on cells in the normal thymus. Immunohistochemically PAC1-R was expressed strongly in stromal cells of the thymic medulla. Positive cells were also observed in the thymus of fetal and old adult rats.

PACAP and PAC1 receptor in brain development and behavior
Neuropeptides, 2013Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) act through three class B G-protein coupled receptors, PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2, initiating multiple signaling pathways. In addition to natural peptides ligands, a number of synthetic peptides and a small molecular antagonist have been generated. Genetically

The G Protein–Coupled Receptor PAC1 Regulates Transactivation of the Receptor Tyrosine Kinase HER3
Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, 2020Peptide G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) for pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) regulate the growth of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. PACAP binds with high affinity to PAC1, which causes transactivation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) for the EGFR and HER2 but its effect on HER3 is unknown.
