Research overview

About this compound

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide of the secretin and glucagon family, found in the gut and the nervous system.

How it is used in research

It is an agonist of the VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, which signal through cyclic AMP, and is used to study those receptors.

Analytical characterization

Synthetic peptides are usually characterized by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which reports purity as the share of the main peak, and by mass spectrometry, which confirms that the measured molecular mass matches the expected sequence. Results for a specific lot appear under Lab results once they have been posted.
