Recent studies have revealed the presence of PACAP and its corresponding receptors, namely, the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide type I receptor (PAC1R), vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 1 (VIPR1), and vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 2 (VIPR2), in various structures implicated in migraine pathophysiology, including sensory trigeminal neurons. This evidence concerns the gene ADCYAP1 and migraine disorder.
