Same same, but different: exploring the enigmatic role of the pituitary adenylate cyclase- activating polypeptide (PACAP) in invertebrate physiology

2023-02-28

Abstract excerpt

There is a long-standing debate about the presence and functionality of the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in non-bilaterians, protostomes, and invertebrate deuterostomes. Evidence has been accumulating that homologous sequences to genes encoding PACAP peptides and their receptors in vertebrates are missing in invertebrate genomes. This is at odds, however, with the partial sequence-, i...
