≥98% Purity Research Use Only$79.99
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide that acts through the VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research use only.
Description
What is VIP?
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), also referenced as aviptadil (CAS 37221-79-7, molecular formula C147H237N43O43S, molecular weight 3326.8 g/mol), is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide.
Research background
VIP acts through two class B G protein-coupled receptors, VPAC1 and VPAC2, which it shares with the related neuropeptide PACAP. The pharmacology of these receptors is summarized in an International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) review.[1]
Format and documentation
Atlas Labs Bio supplies VIP as a white to off-white lyophilized powder in a sealed 10 mg glass vial. Third-party certificates of analysis for Atlas Labs Bio products are published in the COA Library.
