Peptide Class: Neuropeptide / Regulatory Peptide
OVERVIEW
VIP, short for Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide, is a naturally occurring 28–amino acid neuropeptide that functions as an important signaling molecule in the nervous, immune, and digestive systems. It is widely distributed throughout the body, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and central nervous system.
In research settings, VIP is studied for its potential role in immune regulation, inflammation control, smooth muscle relaxation, and cellular signaling pathways.
Because of its broad biological activity, it has gained interest in laboratory studies related to respiratory function, digestive health, and immune balance.
POTENTIAL RESEARCH BENEFITS
VIP is commonly studied for its potential role in:
Immune System Regulation
Investigated for its influence on immune signaling and cytokine activity.
Inflammation Modulation
Studied for its potential to regulate inflammatory responses in immune cells.
Respiratory Function Research
Examined in models related to airway relaxation and lung function.
Digestive System Studies
Because VIP is naturally found in the gastrointestinal tract, it is often researched for digestive system regulation.
Nervous System Signaling
Studied for its role as a neurotransmitter and cellular signaling peptide.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
VIP functions by binding to specific receptors known as VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, which are found on many different types of cells.
Research suggests it may:
Influence immune cell signaling and cytokine production
Promote smooth muscle relaxation
Regulate inflammatory pathways
Support communication between nerve cells and immune cells
These mechanisms make VIP an important focus in neuroscience, immunology, and gastrointestinal research.

STORAGE:
To maintain product stability and quality:
Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term storage.
Short-term storage may be maintained at 2–8°C (refrigerated).
Keep the vial dry, sealed, and protected from light.
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, as this may reduce peptide stability.
Once reconstituted, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used within a short timeframe according to laboratory protocols.
For Research Use Only
Not intended for human consumption, medical, or veterinary use.
