VIP 6 mg is a high-purity injectable peptide provided by Peptide Sciences USA for advanced laboratory and clinical research. Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide that plays a key role in regulating inflammation, smooth muscle relaxation, neurotransmission, and immune function. VIP has attracted attention for its potential application in studies involving autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, respiratory diseases, and gastrointestinal health.

Mechanism of Action

VIP exerts its effects by binding to VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, which are expressed across a wide range of tissues including the brain, lungs, intestines, and immune cells. This binding activates cyclic AMP (cAMP) pathways, leading to downstream effects such as vasodilation, smooth muscle relaxation, and modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine release.

In neurological research, VIP supports neurogenesis and has demonstrated protective effects against excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation. In respiratory and gastrointestinal models, VIP reduces inflammation and promotes mucosal protection. Its immune-modulating properties make it a candidate for autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disease research, including studies on multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, and asthma.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Vasodilatory Properties: Relaxes smooth muscle and expands blood vessels for improved circulation.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Research: Downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines in immune system models.
  • Neuroprotection: Studied for protecting neurons and glial cells from oxidative and inflammatory damage.
  • Gastrointestinal & Respiratory Support: Enhances epithelial defense mechanisms and tissue repair in mucosal surfaces.
  • High-Grade Purity: Manufactured under strict research conditions by Peptide Sciences USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is VIP peptide used for?
VIP is studied for its role in modulating immune function, protecting neural cells, reducing inflammation, and supporting gastrointestinal and pulmonary tissues.
2. What does VIP do to your body?
In research models, VIP relaxes smooth muscle, dilates blood vessels, and helps regulate immune and neurological responses to stress and inflammation.
3. What triggers VIP release?
In the body, VIP is released by parasympathetic nerve endings in response to physiological signals like stress, inflammation, and circadian rhythm cues.
4. What do vasoactive peptides do?
Vasoactive peptides regulate blood vessel tone and permeability, support tissue repair, and influence immune cell signaling and hormone release.
