Abstract excerpt
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), a neuropeptide belonging to the VIP/secretin/glucagon family, is present in the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, and adrenal gland where it regulates hormone release, in the GI tract where it modulates motility, and in human tumoral cell lines where it shows a growth-promoting effect. It is now appreciated that alternative splicing of two exons of the...
