The Dossier

Research Notes

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide of the glucagon–secretin superfamily, first isolated from porcine intestine in 1970 and highly conserved across mammals. Its synthetic form is known as aviptadil.

It is a versatile reference standard in cellular study, examined for signaling across neuroendocrine, vascular, and pulmonary models. It is an extremely labile peptide with a very short plasma half-life.

Research Focus

  • Respiratory and pulmonary-signaling models
  • Neurodegeneration and neuroprotection models
  • Inflammatory-bowel and colitis models
  • Pulmonary-hypertension and bronchodilation research
  • Circadian-rhythm regulation (suprachiasmatic nucleus)

Mechanism

VIP acts through the class-B G-protein-coupled receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2 (and, with lower affinity, PAC1). Canonical signaling proceeds through Gs, adenylyl cyclase, cAMP, and PKA, with tissue-specific alternative pathways including NF-κB modulation in immune cells.

Its serum half-life of roughly one to two minutes, driven by peptidase degradation, makes it a notably labile molecule requiring careful handling.

Storage & Handling

Store the lyophilized peptide at −20°C, desiccated and protected from light. Given its extreme lability, reconstituted solution is best used without delay.
