Abstract
A novel neuropeptide with 38 residues (PACAP38) was isolated from ovine hypothalamic tissues using the pituitary adenylate cyclase activation in rat pituitary cell cultures as a parameter of the biological activity (Miyata et al, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 164, 567–574, 1989). From the side fractions obtained during the purification of PACAP38, a shorter form peptide with 27 residues corresponding to the N-terminal 27 amino acids of PACAP38 and amidated C-terminus was isolated and named as PACAP27. Synthetic PACAP27 showed a biological activity of adenylate cyclase stimulation comparable to PACAP38. Moreover PACAP27 which shows a considerable homology with vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) demonstrated a similar vasodepressor activity as VIP, but the adenylate cyclase stimulating activity was about 1000 times greater than VIP.
