VIP10 (10 mg)

VIP10 is a synthetic form of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP), a neuropeptide known for its role in various physiological processes. This product is designed for research applications only, offering a high-purity formulation in a 10 mg quantity. VIP is extensively studied in preclinical research for its effects on cellular signaling pathways, cardiovascular regulation, and neuroendocrine functions.

Research Context

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide synthesized in the central nervous system, enteric nervous system, and other peripheral tissues. It plays a critical regulatory role in gastrointestinal motility, pancreatic exocrine secretion, and cardiovascular function. In preclinical research, VIP has been explored for its potential to modulate immune responses, influence stress-related behaviors, and affect metabolic processes.

Research Overview

VIP10 is a recombinant or synthetic peptide analog that maintains or closely mimics the functional characteristics of endogenous VIP while providing a consistent and stable research reagent. This product is formulated for use in laboratory settings to study mechanisms of action, receptor binding affinities, and downstream signaling pathways associated with VIP. Researchers often utilize such reagents to investigate molecular interactions, pharmacological profiles, and potential therapeutic implications in vitro and in vivo models.

Key Research Focus Areas

• Cellular Signaling Studies: Investigation of VIP-mediated intracellular signaling cascades, including adenylate cyclase activation and cAMP production, to elucidate its role in cellular responses.
• Neuroendocrine Functions: Examination of VIP’s impact on pituitary gland hormone secretion and autonomic nervous system modulation, particularly in stress-related and circadian rhythm research.
• Cardiovascular Research: Analysis of VIP’s effects on vascular tone, blood pressure regulation, and coronary circulation, relevant to cardiovascular disease models.
• Gastrointestinal Physiology: Evaluation of VIP’s influence on gut motility, secretory processes, and enteroendocrine cell signaling in preclinical gastrointestinal studies.
• Immune Modulation: Exploration of VIP’s regulatory effects on immune cell function, including its role in inflammation and immune homeostasis research.
