Comparative analysis reveals myelin reduction and ER stress in PAC1 knockout mice, indicating crucial roles in neurodevelopment.

PAC1 receptor deficiency impaired survival and caused developmental deficits, impacting neurodevelopment.
Gene expression analyses showed significant myelin reduction and oligodendrocyte density loss in PAC1−/− mice.
ER stress was indicated by altered UPR-related gene expression in the white matter and motor cortex of knockout mice.
Findings provide insights into PAC1's role in multiple sclerosis and neurodegenerative conditions, highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

Withana et al. (2025) studied this question.
