Function
This is a receptor for PACAP-27 and PACAP-38. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. May regulate the release of adrenocorticotropin, luteinizing hormone, growth hormone, prolactin, epinephrine, and catecholamine. May play a role in spermatogenesis and sperm motility. Causes smooth muscle relaxation and secretion in the gastrointestinal tract. -
Tissue specificity
Most abundant in the brain, low expression in the lung, liver, thymus, spleen, pancreas and placenta. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. -
