Description: Peptide to PACAP (1-27), Human, Ovine, Rat Form: Lyophilized powder Alternative Names: Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide-27 (human, mouse, ovine, porcine, rat), PACAP-38 (1-27) amide (human, mouse, ovine, porcine, rat)CAS Number : 127317-03-7Molecular Formula : C142H224N40O39SMolecular Weight : 3147.68Purity : > 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-NH2Application : PACAP-38 and its N-terminal fragment PACAP-27 are neuropeptides originally isolated from ovine hypothalamus, but also found in humans and rats. Both PACAP-27, which shows considerable homology with vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), and PACAP-38 stimulate adenylate cyclase much more potently than VIP. Specific PACAP receptors have been identified in different tissues and cell lines.Kojro et al. observed that the PAC1 agonists PACAP-27 and PACAP-38 strongly increased the activity of α-secretase, thus promoting the non-amyloidogenic processing of amyloid precursor protein.Storage/Stability : Shipped at 4°C. Store at -20°C for one year.
