Description
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a naturally occurring 28-amino-acid neuropeptide belonging to the secretin/glucagon peptide superfamily. Sequence: His-Ser-Asp-Ala-Val-Phe-Thr-Asp-Asn-Tyr-Thr-Arg-Leu-Arg-Lys-Gln-Met-Ala-Val-Lys-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ile-Leu-Asn-NH2. Molecular formula: C147H237N43O43S; molecular weight: 3326.8 g/mol; CAS 40077-57-4.
Research on VIP has examined its activity at VPAC1 and VPAC2 G-protein-coupled receptors, cyclic AMP signaling, smooth muscle relaxation, and immunomodulatory endpoints in cell culture and animal models.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution, each batch is analyzed by HPLC to confirm purity and identity.
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use, and not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic application.
