MeSH definition : A multi-function neuropeptide that acts throughout the body by elevating intracellular
cyclic AMP level via its interaction with PACAP RECEPTORS. 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.; 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.;
