VIP

Description

Overview

VIP is a 28–amino acid peptide originally isolated from porcine intestine by Said and Mutt. It is widely distributed in central and peripheral neurons, enteric ganglia, and immune cells, and belongs to the secretin/glucagon peptide superfamily.

Research Background

VIP has been studied in research on vasodilation, intestinal physiology, immune modulation, circadian regulation, and pulmonary biology. It is a foundational reference peptide for VPAC receptor pharmacology.

Storage & Handling

Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C and use within recommended timeframes. Handle under sterile laboratory conditions and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
