Pharmacology of PACAP and VIP receptors in the spinal cord highlights the importance of the PAC1 receptor

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 181, Issue 15, Page 2655-2675, August 2024.
Background and Purpose The spinal cord is a key structure involved in the transmission and modulation of pain. Pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating peptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), are expressed in the spinal cord. These peptides activate G protein‐coupled receptors (PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2) that could provide targets for the ...

VPAC2 receptors mediate vasoactive intestinal peptide-induced neuroprotection against neonatal excitotoxic brain lesions in mice. : VPAC2 Receptors Mediate VIP-Induced Neuroprotection

open access: yes, 2005
Prepro-vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) mRNA codes for two neuropeptides: VIP and peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI). Two VIP receptors, shared with a similar affinity by pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), have been cloned: VPAC(1) and VPAC(2). PHI binds to these receptors with a lower affinity.

VPAC2 And/Or PAC1 Receptors Interact with NOS during Heat Stress in Humans

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2010
VPAC2 and/or PAC1 receptors are implicated in cutaneous active vasodilation(AVD) during heat stress(HS). Nitric oxide(NO) from NOS also plays important roles in HS in humans. We hypothesized that NO and VPAC2/PAC1 interact in AVD during HS.

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide mediates circadian rhythms in Mammalian olfactory bulb and olfaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Accumulating evidence suggests that the olfactory bulbs (OBs) function as an independent circadian system regulating daily rhythms in olfactory performance.

Role of PACAP and VIP Signalling in Regulation of Chondrogenesis and Osteogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are multifunctional proteins that can regulate diverse physiological processes. These are also regarded as neurotrophic and anti-inflammatory substances in

Neuroprotective Potential of Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide in Retinal Degenerations of Metabolic Origin

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP1-38) is a highly conserved member of the secretin/glucagon/VIP family. The repressive effect of PACAP1-38 on the apoptotic machinery has been an area of active research conferring a significant ...
