VIP Peptide – Research Overview

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide that belongs to the secretin/glucagon superfamily. It has been extensively studied for its role in gastrointestinal function, immune modulation, and neuroprotection. Researchers explore VIP in controlled laboratory settings to investigate its interactions with gastrointestinal, immune, and neuroprotective pathways in preclinical models. VIP is commonly referenced in studies examining vasodilation, immune modulation, and pulmonary function research.
