The PACAP receptor type 1, a member of the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide subfamily, binds the hormone pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) with high affinity. PACAP is involved in stimulating the secretion of insulin, catecholamines, ACTH, and growth hormone. Additionally, PACAP appears to function as a neuromodulator/neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Two start codons are reported in literature, one (nt 74-76) results in a 525-amino acid protein with a signal peptide of 77 amino acids encoded by nt 74-304 and the second (nt 245-247) initiates a 468-amino acid protein with a signal peptide of 20-amino acids encoded by nt 245-304. The efficiency of these two start codons is not known.
