PACAP (6-38), human, ovine, rat

Research use only, not for human use.

PACAP (6-38), human, ovine, rat is a potent antagonist of PACAP 38. PACAP (6-38) is much more potent and selective than PACAP (6-27) in the inhibition of PACAP-27-stimulated pituitary adenylate cyclase.

PACAP (6-38) is much more potent and selective than PACAP (6-27) in the inhibition of PACAP-27-stimulated pituitary adenylate cyclase. (In Vitro):An increase of dopamine (DA) content by HPLC analysis and/or cell proliferation identified by MTT assay by Dexamethasone (DEX) is also observed which can be inhibited by PACAP (6-38) at concentration sufficient to block PACAP type 1 (PAC1) receptor. Pretreatment with PAC1 receptor antagonist PACAP (6-38) at 0.1 or 1 μM for 2 h significantly blocks this increase of DA content by 1 μM DEX. The MTT assay shows that DEX increases cell proliferation. Moreover, this action is also inhibited by the pre-incubation of PACAP (6-38). PACAP (6-38) at 1μM shows no effect on DA content and cell proliferation for 24 h. However, PACAP (6-38) at 0.3 μM has been mentioned to reduce the spontaneous tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) accumulation in differentiated retinal cultured cells for 5 days.(In Vivo):Intravesical administration of the PAC1 receptor antagonist, PACAP (6-38) (300 nM), significantly (p≤0.01) increases intercontraction interval (2.0-fold) and void volume (2.5-fold) in NGF-OE mice. Intravesical instillation of PACAP (6-38) also decreases baseline bladder pressure in NGF-OE mice. Intravesical administration of PACAP (6-38) (300 nM) significantly (p≤0.01) reduces pelvic sensitivity in NGF-OE mice but is without effect in WT mice.
