Background	Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide-38, also known as PACAP-38, is a 38 amino acid neuropeptide that has substantial sequence homology (68%) to vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). It derives from a 176-amino acid precursor (preproPACAP), and it was discovered as an ovine hypothalamic neuropeptide. PACAP-38 is reported to serve as a neuronal survival factor and it has a greater potency for stimulation of adenylyl cyclase. Also, it stimulates insulin secretion from islets in a glucose-dependent manner at femtomolar concentrations, acting as an insulinotropic factor. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with PACAP-38 coupled to a carrier protein.
Synonyms	MGC126852; OTTHUMP00000162201; PACAP
