Research overview

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide of the secretin and glucagon family, found in nerves of the gut, lungs, blood vessels and brain. It acts through two G protein-coupled receptors, VPAC1 and VPAC2, which it shares with the related peptide PACAP.

VIP relaxes smooth muscle and widens blood vessels, stimulates fluid secretion in the gut, modulates immune cells and helps synchronise the circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Its half-life in blood is very short, so it is mainly a tool for receptor and cell research. Use low-binding tubes and prepare solutions shortly before use.
