Contesto di ricerca
Profilo di ricerca VIP / Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide
Vasoactive intestinal peptide is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide studied through the VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors and cyclic-AMP signaling. Research spans smooth-muscle response, vascular signaling, epithelial and barrier function, neuroimmune communication, cytokine regulation, airway models, and gastrointestinal physiology. VIP is a short-lived signaling peptide, so stability, assay timing, receptor expression, and delivery conditions strongly influence experimental results. It is selected when a project requires a native VPAC-receptor ligand rather than a general immune or vascular peptide. Its broad physiological literature provides mechanism context but should not be converted into disease, treatment, or personal-use claims for a catalog material.
Meccanismo proposto
Binds VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, activating Gs and cyclic AMP. Depending on tissue, this can produce smooth-muscle relaxation, vasodilation, altered epithelial secretion, and modulation of immune-cell cytokine signaling.
Effetti riportati negli studi
- Cell and animal studies report bronchodilatory, vasodilatory, epithelial, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects in selected models.
- Human physiology studies report vasodilation, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, flushing, and gastrointestinal or airway effects.
- VIP is rapidly degraded and has broad receptor distribution, making exposure, stability, and systemic effects difficult to control.
Endpoint di ricerca comuni
VPAC1 and VPAC2 potency, cyclic AMP, vascular tone, airway or intestinal smooth muscle, epithelial secretion, cytokines, barrier function, blood pressure, heart rate, and peptide stability.
Evidenze e limiti
Physiology and receptor mechanisms are well characterized, but short half-life and broad systemic actions limit translation of model results.
