Product Description
VIP | 10mg
Researching Neuroendocrine Signaling, Circadian Rhythm, and Immune Regulation
What It Does
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide being studied for its role in cellular communication, circadian rhythm regulation, and immune system balance. It is a focus in research exploring interactions between the nervous, immune, and gastrointestinal systems.
What Researchers Explore
- Circadian rhythm synchronization and stability
- Immune signaling and inflammatory modulation
- Gastrointestinal motility and regulation
- Neuroprotection and neuronal signaling pathways
- Stress response and adaptive resilience
- Cell-to-cell communication in neuroendocrine systems
Technical Background
VIP is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide belonging to the glucagon/secretin peptide family. It binds to VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, which are widely expressed throughout the central nervous system, immune cells, and gastrointestinal tract.
Research indicates VIP plays a role in regulating circadian rhythms through signaling within the suprachiasmatic nucleus, while also modulating cytokine activity and inflammatory pathways. It has additionally been studied for its effects on smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation, and neuroimmune communication.
