VIP is a neuropeptide that induces vasodilation, lowers arterial blood pressure, stimulates myocardial contractility, enhances glycogenolysis, and relaxes tracheal, gastric, and gallbladder smooth muscles. PHM and PHV-related peptides also have vasodilatory properties. VIP Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived VIP protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

VIP is a neuropeptide that induces vasodilation, lowers arterial blood pressure, stimulates myocardial contractility, enhances glycogenolysis, and relaxes tracheal, gastric, and gallbladder smooth muscles. PHM and PHV-related peptides also have vasodilatory properties. VIP Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived VIP protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

VIP, a neuropeptide with diverse physiological effects, elicits vasodilation, contributing to the lowering of arterial blood pressure. It further stimulates myocardial contractility, enhances glycogenolysis, and induces relaxation in the smooth muscles of the trachea, stomach, and gall bladder. In addition to VIP, both PHM and PHV also display vasodilatory properties. Notably, PHM-27 emerges as a potent agonist of the calcitonin receptor CALCR, demonstrating efficacy comparable to that of calcitonin. These findings highlight the multifaceted actions of VIP and its related peptides in regulating cardiovascular functions and smooth muscle activity.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping
