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 ...

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
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]
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]
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
