PACAP-related peptide (PRP) is an endogenous 29-amino acid peptide that belongs to the secretin/glucagon superfamily of peptides, which includes secretin , glucagon , glucagon-like peptide-1 , GLP-2 , and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide . It is expressed in rat hypothalamus as well as within the nerves of the median eminence, the anterior pituitary, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, cerebellum, cerebral cortex, and amygdala. PRP is also expressed in vaginal, uterine cervical, uterine horn, fallopian tube, and ovarian tissues from the rat female genital tract and is present in extracts of male testis tissue.
Tyrosinase-related Protein 2 (TRP-2) (181-188) is a peptide derived from the tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP-2), specifically corresponding to residues 180-188. It is the primary epitope within TRP-2 that is recognized by anti-B16 CTLs. Moreover, It is a peptide that conforms to the binding motif of the MHC class I H2-Kb.
Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide II is a potent, long-lasting vasodilator; activation of CGRP receptors on pancreatic β-cells increases plasma levels of pancreatic enzymes.
MPG, a 27-amino acid peptide compound, is derived from the fusion peptide domain of HIV-1 gp41 and the nuclear localisation sequence of SV40 large T antigen. As a potent delivery agent, MPG enables efficient and widespread transport of nucleic acids and oligonucleotides into cultured cells.
PACAP-Related Peptide (PRP), human, a 29-amino acid region of the PACAP precursor protein, is synthesized in sufficient quantities for biological and structural studies.
