Description
VIP 10mg – Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide for Metabolic & Neurophysiological Research
VIP 10mg contains vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a naturally occurring neuropeptide involved in multiple physiological processes. As a research peptide, VIP helps scientists investigate its roles in metabolic signaling, vascular regulation, immune modulation, and neuronal communication.
Overview & Mechanism
VIP functions as a powerful signaling molecule in the body. In research models, it interacts with specific receptors (VPAC1 and VPAC2) to regulate:
- Vascular Tone & Blood Flow: VIP promotes smooth muscle relaxation, helping researchers study vascular dilation and circulation mechanisms.
- Metabolic Homeostasis: VIP influences glucose metabolism and energy balance through endocrine and autonomic pathways.
- Immune Response Modulation: Through neuroimmune interactions, VIP affects cytokine production and inflammatory signaling in cellular systems.
- Neurotransmission & Neuronal Health: VIP plays a significant role in nervous system communication, synaptic plasticity, and circadian rhythm regulation.
Research Applications
VIP 10mg is valuable for in vitro studies exploring:
- Cardiovascular and vascular biology pathways
- Metabolic regulation and glucose signaling
- Neurophysiological and neuroendocrine research
- Immune system modulation and inflammation studies
- Cell signaling involving GPCR (G‑protein coupled receptor) pathways
