Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide 1-27 (PACAP 1-27) is a neuropeptide that stimulates adenylyl cyclase.
PACAP 1-27 is an endogenous neuropeptide and is the C-terminally truncated form of PACAP 38. PACAP 27 has considerable homology with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) but is >100 fold more potent than VIP as an agonist of the PAC1 receptor. PACAP 27 functions in the control of anterior pituitary hormone secretion, vasodilation, adrenaline secretion, insulin secretion and immunosuppression.
PACAP 1-27, also known as PACAP 27 Amide, is an endogenous neuropeptide showing considerable homology with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Potently stimulates adenylyl cyclase.
