Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) (For Research Use Only)
Synthetic Neuropeptide for Cellular Signaling Research
Product Description
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a synthetic 28-amino-acid neuropeptide in the glucagon/secretin family, designed exclusively for laboratory research. It targets VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors and is intended for use in controlled in vitro and preclinical animal studies to investigate neuromodulatory and cellular signaling pathways. Not for human consumption, therapeutic use, or diagnostic applications.Research Applications
In Vitro Studies: Suitable for cell culture experiments, such as investigating VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptor binding in neuronal or epithelial cell lines (e.g., SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells) to study signal transduction pathways or gene expression changes.
Preclinical Models: Ideal for animal-based research, such as rodent models (e.g., mice or rats) to examine VIP’s effects on neuromodulation in hypothalamic tissue or gastrointestinal smooth muscle signaling in controlled settings.
Biochemical Analysis: Can be used to study peptide-receptor interactions, such as binding affinity to VPAC receptors in membrane preparations or downstream effects on cyclic AMP (cAMP) production in cell-based assays.
Mechanism of Action (Research Context)
VIP interacts with VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors in experimental models, enabling researchers to study:
Modulation of cyclic AMP signaling and calcium mobilization in neuronal or gastrointestinal cell cultures.
Effects on neuromodulatory pathways in preclinical animal models, such as mice engineered for metabolic or neurological research.
Interactions between VIP receptors and cellular responses in controlled in vitro systems, such as primary cell cultures or organotypic slices.
