Description
VIP Overview
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide made up of 28 amino acids. It was originally isolated from intestinal tissue and belongs to the glucagon/secretin superfamily of signaling peptides.
Since its discovery in 1970, VIP has been studied extensively in controlled experimental settings. Research has examined its potential influence on smooth muscle relaxation, receptor signaling and immune regulation.
VIP Research Focus
Published laboratory and preclinical work on VIP has concentrated on the following areas:
- Smooth muscle relaxation in experimental models
- Receptor signaling within the glucagon/secretin family
- Immune regulation
- Neuropeptide signaling
Available Formats
VIP is available in 10mg vials. Each strength can be ordered as a single vial or as a pack of 10 vials; choose your options above before adding to the cart.
