What is VIP?

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide belonging to the glucagon/secretin superfamily, first isolated by Said and Mutt in 1970. It is widely distributed in both central and peripheral nervous systems, with particularly high concentrations in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. VIP signals through two G-protein coupled receptors: VPAC1 (widely distributed) and VPAC2 (more restricted to CNS and immune tissues). Both couple to Gs proteins, activating adenylyl cyclase and downstream cAMP/PKA signaling. For laboratory research use only.
