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

Bioactivity	PACAP (6-38), human, ovine, rat is a potent PACAP receptor antagonist with IC50s of 30, 600, and 40 nM for PACAP type I receptor, PACAP type II receptor VIP1, and PACAP type II receptor VIP2, respectively.
Invitro	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[2].
