Research Overview
VIP is a bioactive neuropeptide widely distributed across the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and immune tissues, where it signals through the VPAC1 and VPAC2 G protein-coupled receptor subtypes to elevate intracellular cAMP via adenylyl cyclase activation. It has become a widely employed research tool in neuroimmunology, circadian biology centred on the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), and studies of GI motility and pro-inflammatory cytokine modulation. BME Health supplies VIP as a lyophilized research peptide at ≥98% purity, accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis. Supplied exclusively for laboratory and research use.
Preclinical and in vitro studies have characterised VIP as a multifunctional signalling molecule, with investigations examining its role in suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine production, modulating T-cell subsets, and regulating circadian oscillator function in SCN neuron models. Receptor pharmacology research has used VIP to probe VPAC1/VPAC2 selectivity and the downstream cAMP/PKA signalling cascade in a range of tissue and cell culture preparations. Additional studies have explored VIP's influence on gastrointestinal smooth muscle relaxation and enteric nervous system communication. All outcomes referenced do not constitute evidence of clinical efficacy or safety in humans.

COA / Testing
Batch documentation and third-party testing information are available for batch BME-VIP5MG-A. COA previews appear only when documentation exists for the active batch.
Storage & Handling
Lyophilized VIP peptide should be stored at −20°C in a dry environment, protected from light and moisture. Reconstituted solutions are less stable than the lyophilized form; prepare only the volume required for immediate experimental use and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which can lead to peptide degradation and loss of biological activity. Upon receipt, inspect the vial for integrity; if the lyophilized cake appears compromised, contact BME Health prior to use.
