Biological Activity for PACAP 1-38

PACAP 1-38 is a potent endogenous neuropeptide (IC₅₀ = 2 nM) showing considerable homology with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) but with a greater potency for stimulation of adenylyl cyclase. PACAP 1-38 induces phosphorylation of NR2B and enhances NMDA receptor potentials.
