VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide of the secretin/glucagon peptide superfamily. It is a well-characterized reference compound in neuroimmunology and receptor-signaling research.
VIP acts on VPAC receptors and is studied across preclinical contexts ranging from vasodilation and smooth-muscle signaling to circadian and immune research.
In laboratory models, VIP has been investigated for immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory signaling, circadian-rhythm regulation, and neuroprotection research. These observations are limited to laboratory and preclinical research settings and are not statements about outcomes in humans.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store lyophilized material at -20°C. Reconstitution with bacteriostatic or sterile water is common for laboratory handling; keep any reconstituted solution refrigerated and use it within the timeframe appropriate to the researcher’s protocol.
For synthetic research peptides, purity is determined by HPLC and identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry. Independent third-party testing is expanding across the catalog, and each certificate of analysis is published on the product page it covers as results come back. Refer to that certificate for the testing laboratory, the methods run, and the measured values. Endotoxin and sterility testing are not performed unless explicitly stated.
