pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide-38

PACAP (1-38), human, ovine, rat (Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide 38), is a neuropeptide comprising 38 amino acid residues.

PACAP (1-38), human, ovine, rat TFA is an endogenous neuropeptide and a high-affinity agonist for the PAC1 receptor. This 38-amino acid peptide binds to the PAC1 receptor to activate adenylate cyclase, inducing an increase in intracellular cAMP levels and triggering downstream signaling. Research demonstrates that C-terminal amidation of PACAP (1-38), human, ovine, rat TFA is dispensable for its biological activity at the PAC1 receptor, with the non-amidated form retaining full agonistic potency. It plays crucial roles in neuroprotection, regulation of insulin secretion, and vasodilation.

Anti-PACAP38 Antibody represents a highly specialized monoclonal antibody specifically engineered to target the human pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide 38 isoform with exceptional binding affinity and selectivity, effectively facilitating the measurable neutralization of ligand-mediated signaling within the GPCR/G Protein pathway to evaluate its functional role in neurovascular regulation during strictly monitored laboratory observation periods and functional cyclic AMP accumulation assays to ensure high experimental sensitivity.

PACAP 1-38 acetate is a pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) analogue. PACAP 1-38 acetate binds to PACAP type I receptor(IC50 = 4 nM) and PACAP type II VIP2 receptor(IC50 = 1 nM) but not to PACAP type II, VIP1 receptor.
