PEPTIDES HAVING SPECIFIC AFFINITY TO PACAP TYPE 1 RECEPTORS

摘要

This specification relates to use of peptides having a specific affinity to subtype 1 of PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide) receptors, particularly MAX (67 amino acids), NSP (61 amino acids) and M 65 (46 amino acids). MAX and NSP act as agonists to PACAP type 1 receptors, and M 65 acts as an antagonist to PACAP type 1 receptors.
