Biological Activity

Description PACAP 6-38 acetate is a PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) non-stimulating competitive antagonist with an IC50 value of 2 nM. It also acts as a functional CARTp antagonist in vivo.
Targets
CARTp [2] PACAP receptor [1]
2 nM
In vitro

PACAP 6-38 blocks the CARTp-induced phosphorylation of ERK in differentiated cells[2].

In vivo

Intravesical administration of the PAC1 receptor antagonist, PACAP(6-38) (300 nM), significantly (p ≤ 0.01) increases intercontraction interval (2.0-fold) and void volume (2.5-fold) in NGF-OE mice. PACAP(6-38) has no effects on bladder function in WT mice. Intravesical administration of PACAP(6–38) (300 nM) significantly (p ≤ 0.01) reduces pelvic sensitivity in NGF-OE mice but is without effect in WT mice[4].

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[3]

  • Cell lines

    SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cells

  • Concentrations

    30 μM

  • Incubation Time

    4 h

  • Method

    Cells are incubated for 4 h with 300 nM PACAP-38 in the absence or presence of the PACAP antagonist PACAP (6-38), medium is collected, and proteins are separated by SDS/PAGE and blotted onto PVDF membranes. For APPsα detection, membranes are probed with the antibody 6E10 followed by an anti-mouse antibody labeled with HRP, detection is performed with the ECL plus system.

Animal Study:

[2]

  • Animal Models

    Male Sprague-Dawley rats

  • Dosages

    0.3 nmol, 0.6 nmol, 3 nmol (1.5 Μl/340g)

  • Administration

    i.c.v
