Description
VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide)
Research Use Only
Product Overview
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a naturally occurring 28-amino-acid neuropeptide that functions as both a neurotransmitter and signaling molecule throughout the nervous, immune, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems. Since its discovery, VIP has become an important subject of scientific investigation due to its broad physiological roles in cellular communication, immune regulation, smooth muscle function, and vascular biology.
Researchers continue to investigate VIP for its involvement in maintaining homeostasis across multiple organ systems. Its diverse biological activities have generated interest in fields including immunology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, neurology, and regenerative medicine.
Areas of Scientific Interest
Current preclinical research is exploring VIP’s potential involvement in:
- Immune system signaling
- Inflammatory pathway regulation
- Gastrointestinal physiology
- Respiratory biology
- Smooth muscle relaxation
- Neuroimmune communication
- Intestinal barrier function
- Vascular function
- Cellular homeostasis
- Tissue protection and repair mechanisms
Mechanism of Interest
VIP exerts its biological effects through activation of VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, initiating intracellular signaling pathways that influence cyclic AMP (cAMP) production and cellular communication. Laboratory studies suggest VIP participates in regulating immune cell activity, epithelial function, neurotransmission, smooth muscle tone, and inflammatory signaling.
Because these pathways span numerous biological systems, VIP continues to be investigated as a valuable research peptide for understanding complex interactions between the nervous, immune, and gastrointestinal systems.
Research Applications
VIP is commonly utilized in laboratory investigations involving:
- Immunology
- Pulmonary research
- Gastrointestinal research
- Neuroscience
- Neuroimmunology
- Cell signaling
- Inflammatory biology
- Regenerative medicine
- Vascular biology
- Receptor pharmacology
