Description：Peptide to PACAP (1-38), Human, Ovine, RatForm：Lyophilized powderAlternative Names：Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide-38 (human, mouse, ovine, porcine, rat) CAS Number：124123-15-5Molecular Formula：C203H331N63O53SMolecular Weight：4534.36Purity：> 95%Chemical Structure：H-His-Ser-Asp-Gly-Ile-Phe-Thr-Asp-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Arg-Tyr-Arg-Lys-Gln-Met-Ala-Val-Lys-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Ala-Ala-Val-Leu-Gly-Lys-Arg-Tyr-Lys-Gln-Arg-Val-Lys-Asn-Lys-NH2Application：Kojro et al. observed that the PAC1 agonists PACAP-27 and PACAP-38 strongly increased the activity of α-secretase. Upregulation of this APP-degrading enzyme promotes the non-amyloidogenic processing of APP, i.e. reduces the production of Aβ40/42, and thus may help to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Nasally applied PACAP-38 in APP[V717I]-transgenic mice additionally enhanced the production of the Aβ-degrading enzyme neprilysin via induction of somatostatin.Storage/Stability：Shipped at 4°C. Store at -20°C for one year.
