VIP

VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) is a neuropeptide primarily studied for its wide-ranging effects on the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems.

Key research areas include:

• Vasodilation and regulation of blood flow

• Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity

• Neuroprotection and neuronal signaling

• Gastrointestinal motility and secretion

• Circadian rhythm and sleep-related pathways

• Potential roles in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions

It is investigated as a multifunctional signaling peptide with receptors (VPAC1/VPAC2) expressed across multiple organ systems.
