VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) Lyophilized Powder – Vial – Research Use Only
VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide that functions as both a neurotransmitter and hormone. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed research vial and is widely studied for its broad regulatory effects across multiple physiological systems, particularly in vasodilation, smooth muscle relaxation, and immune modulation.
In laboratory settings, researchers examine how VIP binds to VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors (G-protein coupled receptors) to activate adenylate cyclase, increase cAMP levels, and exert potent anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and vasodilatory effects.
Researchers commonly study VIP to explore its potential involvement in:
- Vasodilation and blood flow regulation pathways
- Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory signaling
- Smooth muscle relaxation in the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems
- Neuroprotection and central nervous system modulation
- Gut motility, secretion, and intestinal barrier function
- Pulmonary hypertension and airway relaxation research
- Mast cell stabilization and allergic response pathways
- Overall homeostasis and stress-related physiological regulation
As a versatile neuropeptide with widespread receptor distribution, VIP serves as a valuable research tool for investigating neuroimmunology, gastrointestinal physiology, vascular biology, and inflammatory disorders in controlled laboratory environments.
