VIP

VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide)

Neuropeptide & Vasodilator Research Compound

Product Overview

VIP is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide that functions as a powerful modulator within the central and peripheral nervous systems. In laboratory settings, it is utilized to study the intersection of neuroendocrine signaling and immune homeostasis. Its multifaceted role makes it a primary subject for research involving systemic inflammation and neuroprotection.

Key Research Applications

• Vascular Dynamics: Acts as a potent vasodilator, making it essential for studies on blood flow and vascular tone.

• Immune Regulation: Investigated for its ability to downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines and promote immune tolerance.

• Neuroprotection: Evaluated in neurodegenerative models for its neurotrophic effects and support of neuronal survival.

• Circadian Biology: Crucial for exploring the regulation of clock genes within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).

• GI Motility: Used in preclinical models to study smooth muscle relaxation and gastrointestinal function.
