Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) is a novel vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-like peptide isolated from ovine hypothalamus. It is present in neuronal elements of a number of peripheral organs. We have examined whether PACAP occurs in the gill arch of Carassius auratus L. in which our recent studies have shown the presence of VIP-like peptide. Immunohistochemistry has revealed PACAP-like immunoreactivity in the anterior branches of the post-trematic glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. PACAP-immunoreactive nerve cell bodies and fibers are present in connective tissue on the oral side of the gill arch. Colocalization studies carried out by the application of double immunofluorescence show that a PACAP-like peptide coexists with VIP in the same nerve cell bodies and fibers. The localization pattern of PACAP in the gill arch of goldfish suggests its possible involvement in the regulation of secretory activities.
