Research profile
VIP research profile
VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) is a 28-residue, C-terminally amidated neuropeptide of the secretin/glucagon family, acting through the VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors. Said and Mutt isolated it from pig small intestine in 1970; the sequence is identical in humans, pigs and rats.

Frequently asked questions
Which receptors does VIP act on?
VPAC1 and VPAC2, class B G-protein-coupled receptors.
Is VIP the same across species?
The 28-residue sequence is identical in humans, pigs and rats.
How do I verify my lot?
Scan the QR code on the vial. It opens the certificate of analysis for that lot, with HPLC purity and the mass spectrometry identity result.
