Supplementary information

PACAP also known as Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide is a neuropeptide functioning as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. It belongs to the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)/secretin/glucagon hormone family. PACAP consists of 38 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of approximately 4.5 kDa. It is expressed in various regions including the central nervous system (CNS) endocrine cells and peripheral tissues. This broad expression pattern supports its diverse role in physiological and neurobiological processes.
Biological function summary

PACAP exerts multiple effects by binding to three G protein-coupled receptors: PAC1 VPAC1 and VPAC2. It influences processes like neuroprotection neurodevelopment and neurotransmission. As part of the PACAP/VIP receptor complex it regulates cyclic AMP production and calcium signaling mediating its effects in both neural and non-neural tissues. It is particularly involved in paired functions with neurotransmitters and other signaling molecules indicating its key role in maintaining homeostasis.

Pathways

The PACAP signaling mechanism integrates into the cAMP-dependent pathway and the MAPK/ERK pathway. These pathways are central to cell proliferation differentiation and survival. PACAP's interaction with MAPK/ERK pathway involves proteins such as Raf and MEK further modulating gene expression and synaptic plasticity. By this mechanism PACAP plays a vital role in modulating neurotransmission and neuroendocrine functions.

PACAP is linked to migraine and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. Alterations in PACAP signaling can affect pain pathways and neuroinflammation potentially exacerbating such conditions. PACAP's interaction with proteins like CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide) is significant as both are implicated in the pathophysiology of migraines. Moreover in Alzheimer’s disease the dysregulation of PACAP and its receptors contributes to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.

General info

Function

Associates with immunoglobulin M (IgM) heavy and light chains and promotes IgM assembly and secretion. May exert its effect by acting as a molecular chaperone or as an oxidoreductase as it displays a low level of oxidoreductase activity (By similarity). Isoform 2 may be involved in regulation of apoptosis. Helps to diversify peripheral B-cell functions by regulating Ca(2+) stores, antibody secretion and integrin activation.. Acts as a hormone-regulated adipokine/pro-inflammatory cytokine that is implicated in causing chronic inflammation, affecting cellular expansion and blunting insulin response in adipocytes. May have a role in the onset of insulin resistance.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the MZB1 family.

Post-translational modifications

Forms an interchain disulfide bond with IgM monomers.
