Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP), a multifunctional neuropeptide, has 2 active forms, PACAP38 and PACAP27. It is now well-established that PACAP has several actions also in peripheral organs, including renoprotective effects. The peptide itself has not been previously identified in the rat kidney. The first aim of our study was to identify PACAP in the rat kidney using mass spectrometry and radioimmunoassay (RIA). Receptor mRNA and binding studies revealed the existence of all 3 PACAP receptors (PAC1, VPAC1, and VPAC2) in the kidney, but their exact localization in histologic sections was not evident. Because most of the cytoprotective effects of PACAP relate to its specific PAC1 receptor, our second aim was to identify the cell types wherein the PAC1 receptor is expressed in the rat kidney. Mass spectrometry revealed the presence of PACAP38 in the kidney. RIA measurements showed both PACAP38- and PACAP27-like immunoreactivities in kidney homogenates, with PACAP38 being dominant. Immunohistochemistry revealed PAC1 receptor-like immunoreactivity in kidney sections, mainly expressed in cortical tubular epithelial cells. These results showed PACAP to be endogenously present in the kidney. The tubular localization of the PAC1 receptor provides the basis for the renal effects of the peptide under physiologic and pathologic conditions.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D017208 Rats, Wistar A strain of albino rat developed at the Wistar Institute that has spread widely at other institutions. This has markedly diluted the original strain. Wistar Rat,Rat, Wistar,Wistar Rats
D051219 Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide A multi-function neuropeptide that acts throughout the body by elevating intracellular cyclic AMP level via its interaction with PACAP RECEPTORS and VASOACTIVE INTESTINAL PEPTIDE RECEPTOR. Although first isolated from hypothalamic extracts and named for its action on the pituitary, it is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. PACAP is important in the control of endocrine and homeostatic processes, such as secretion of pituitary and gut hormones and food intake.

D019032 Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.
