VIP Peptide 5mg – Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (≥99% Purity) Research Chemical
28-amino acid neuropeptide | CAS 40077-57-4 | For in vitro & laboratory research only
What is VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide)?
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide that acts as a neurotransmitter and hormone. First isolated in 1970, VIP is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and plays key roles in vasodilation, smooth muscle relaxation, immune modulation, and gastrointestinal function.
Researchers use synthetic VIP peptide to study VPAC1/VPAC2 receptor signaling, cAMP pathways, neuroprotection, pulmonary hypertension models, and inflammatory bowel disease models.
Key Research Applications & Benefits of VIP Peptide 10mg
- Potent vasodilator – increases blood flow in preclinical models
- Immunomodulatory effects – inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines
- Regulates gastrointestinal motility and secretion
- Potential neuroprotective properties in neuroscience research
- Studied in pulmonary hypertension and erectile dysfunction models
