MeSH Heading: Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide
Tree Number(s): D12.644.276.860.887; D12.644.400.625; D12.776.467.860.887; D12.776.631.600.887; D12.776.631.650.625; D23.529.850.887
Unique ID: D051219
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D051219
Scope Note: A multi-function neuropeptide that acts throughout the body by elevating intracellular cyclic AMP level via its interaction with PACAP RECEPTORS and VASOACTIVE INTESTINAL PEPTIDE RECEPTOR. Although first isolated from hypothalamic extracts and named for its action on the pituitary, it is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. PACAP is important in the control of endocrine and homeostatic processes, such as secretion of pituitary and gut hormones and food intake.
