VIP 10mg

Description

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is an endogenous 28-residue neuropeptide broadly expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and immune tissues. It signals through VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors (G protein-coupled, Gs-coupled) to elevate intracellular cAMP, producing effects that include smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation, immunomodulation, and circadian rhythm regulation. Preclinical research has examined VIP extensively in models of inflammatory bowel disease, pulmonary hypertension, neuroinflammation, and autoimmune pathology, where its potent anti-inflammatory actions on macrophage and T-cell cytokine production have been characterized.

This compound is provided as a lyophilized powder suitable for reconstitution in aqueous research buffers for receptor binding assays, cAMP accumulation studies, and cytokine profiling experiments in immune cell lines or primary cultures. Peptide stability is best maintained with storage at -20 degrees Celsius in the sealed lyophilized form. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
