Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide

2009
The study and diverse applications of bioactive peptides traverse many sub-disciplines within chemistry, biology, physics, and medicine. Answering a long-standing need, Bioactive Peptides focuses on the biology, pharmacology, and therapeutic applications of endogenous peptide mediators and their analogues.

Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide expression in sensory neurons

Neuroscience, 1994
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a novel vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-like peptide isolated from ovine hypothalami. The presence of PACAP-like immunoreactivity was recently demonstrated in nerve cell bodies of sensory ganglia in the rat.

Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide: A Potential Neuroprotective Peptide

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2004
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) was first isolated from hypothalamic extracts on the basis of its ability to stimulate cAMP formation in pituitary cells. PACAP is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and exerts numerous effects.

Pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide and its receptors in amphibians

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2001
AbstractPituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP), a novel peptide of the secretin/glucagon/vasoactive intestinal polypeptide superfamily, has been initially characterized in mammals in 1989 and, only 2 years later, its counterpart has been isolated in amphibians.

Distribution of pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide and pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide type I receptor mRNA in the chicken brain

The Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2000
To map in detail the brain areas in which pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) may play a significant role in birds, the distribution of PACAP and PACAP type I receptor (PAC(1)-R) mRNA was examined throughout the entire chicken brain by using in situ hybridization histochemistry.

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide and adrenomedullary function

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2003
pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is an ancestral molecule for a superfamily of 11 hormones and hormone-like substances that have a secretin-containing core in common. These include PACAP, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 and -2, growth hormone-releasing hormone, VIP,
