CAP18 (rabbit) is a 37 amino acid antimicrobial peptide derived from rabbit granulocytes. It exhibits extensive antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive (IC50, 130-200 nM) and Gram-negative (IC50, 20-100 nM) bacteria. Thus, CAP18 (rabbit) holds promise for the study and advancement of bacterial sepsis research.
PACAP (1-27), human, ovine, rat TFA (PACAP 1-27 TFA), an N-terminal fragment of PACAP-38, is an effective PACAP receptor antagonist with IC50 values of 3 nM for rat PAC1, 2 nM for rat VPAC1, and 5 nM for human VPAC2.
PACAP (1-38), a novel neuropeptide isolated from the bovine hypothalamus is more active than vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in stimulating adenylate cyclase (EC50=7 nM). PACAP 1-38 (10-9 M) increased substance P (SP), gastrin releasing peptide (GRP),
PACAP (1-27) (the N-terminal fragment of PACAP-38) is a novel neuropeptides originally isolated from bovine hypothalamus, also found in humans and rats.
