General description
Human ADCYAP1R1 cDNA encoding the long isoform of PAC1
PACAP (pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating peptide) is a peptide that exists in 2 forms, 27 or 38 amino acids, and is related to vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Three related class B GPCRs, PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2, bind to PACAP; however, VPAC1 and VPAC2 have a much higher affinity for VIP than does PAC1 (Vaudry et al., 2000). Several splice variants of PAC1 result in proteins that differ at the N-terminus and third intracellular loop; these variants differ in their affinities for PACAP and abilities to activate Gq and Gs. High expression of PAC1 is observed in the CNS and the adrenal medulla. Studies with PAC1-null mice indicate that PAC1 plays important roles in regulation of circadian rhythms, neutrophil migration, and pulmonary vascular tone (Hannibal et al., 2001; Martinez et al., 2005; Otto et al., 2004). Chemicon′s PAC1-long membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of PAC1-long interactions with PACAP27. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 2.7 nM for [125I]-PACAP27. With 5 µg/well PAC1-long Membrane Prep and 0.75 nM [125]-PACAP27, a greater than 20-fold signal-to-background ratio was obtained.
Application
Radioligand binding assay, and GTPγS binding.

Inucbation Conditions
Membranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, a GF/C 96-well filter plate is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted. Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C Radioligand: [125I] PACAP27 (Perkin Elmer # NEX294) Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.
One package contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where an unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 20-fold signal:background with 125I-labeled PACAP27 at 0.75 nM.

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), acting via 3 different G protein-coupled receptors, has been implicated in the regulation of several homeostatic systems in the body, including cardiopulmonary control. To define the physiologic role of the PACAP-preferring type I receptor, PAC1

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a 38-amino acid peptide that was first isolated from ovine hypothalamic extracts on the basis of its ability to stimulate cAMP formation in anterior pituitary cells. PACAP belongs to the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-glucagon-growth
