1 Expression of mRNA for PACAP and its receptors in intra- and extra-adrenal human pheochromocytomas and their relationship to catecholamine synthesis. Catecholamines adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide 1 Homo sapiens
2 PURPOSE: Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), a member of the secretin/glucagons/vasoactive intestinal peptide family, induces the expression of catecholamine-synthesizing enzymes in adrenal medullary cells. Catecholamines adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide 1 Homo sapiens
3 PURPOSE: Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), a member of the secretin/glucagons/vasoactive intestinal peptide family, induces the expression of catecholamine-synthesizing enzymes in adrenal medullary cells. Catecholamines adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide 1 Homo sapiens
4 In addition, PACAP and its receptor have been detected in human pheochromocytoma tissues, though it is not yet known whether PACAP enhances the expression of genes encoding catecholamine-synthesizing enzymes. Catecholamines adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide 1 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSION: Our findings support a possible role for PACAP in the regulation of expression of genes encoding catecholamine-synthesizing enzymes in intra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. Catecholamines adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide 1 Homo sapiens
