Bioactivity | PACAP (1-27), human, ovine, rat TFA (PACAP 1-27 TFA) is the N-terminal fragment of PACAP-38, and is a potent PACAP receptor antagonist with IC50s of 3 nM, 2 nM and 5 nM for rat PAC1, rat VPAC1 and human VPAC2, respectively[1]. | ||||||
Invitro | Radioligand receptor binding assays with I-monoiodinated PACAP (1-27), human, ovine, rat confirms the presence of PAC -receptors on AR4-2J cells, since PACAP (1-27), human, ovine, rat and PACAP(1–38) equipotently displaces radioligand binding with a Kd of 1-2 nM, whereas vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is 1000-fold less potent. PACAP (1-27), human, ovine, rat exhibits a distinct and much higher susceptibility to VIP-amino acid substitutions. PACAP (1-27), human, ovine, rat has potency and binding affinity to stimulate IP3 and cAMP formation in AR4-2J cells[2]. | ||||||
