Data Sheet
Background: The pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP)- selective PAC1 receptor (PAC1R, ADCYAP1R1) is a member of the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). PAC1R has been shown to play crucial roles in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Inadequate PACAP/PAC1R signaling has been implicated in a number of disorders, including stress-related psychopathologies (i.e., depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and related abnormalities), chronic pain and migraine, and metabolic diseases. Repealing PAC1R signaling under these pathological conditions represent opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
