VIP

VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide belonging to the secretin/glucagon superfamily, naturally distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and gastrointestinal tissues. It is a frequent subject of laboratory research and is supplied as a lyophilized powder for research use only.

In published in vitro and preclinical research, VIP has been studied in connection with binding to the class II G-protein-coupled receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2 and downstream cAMP/PKA signaling. These studies are conducted in cell-culture and animal research models. The findings derive from laboratory research and do not describe or imply any effect, benefit, or use in humans or animals.

Published literature has examined VIP across a range of cell-culture and animal research models relating to VPAC receptor signaling biology and neuroimmune signaling pathways. These reports reflect controlled laboratory conditions only and do not translate to any research amount, clinical use, or application outside these controlled conditions. Its mechanism is studied alongside related research compounds such as KPV, Thymalin, and Thymosin Alpha-1.
