New Insights into the Central PACAPergic System from the Phenotypes in PACAP‐ and PACAP Receptor‐Knockout Mice
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a structurally highly conserved neuropeptide and displays pleiotropic activity, including functioning as a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, and neurotrophic factor. A series of recent experiments, including genetic manipulation of PACAP and its receptors, has led to better understanding of both normal and pathological processes in which PACAP has been...
