Alternative Name: Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide

Background: VIP, PHM27, VIP peptides, prepro-VIP,[Vasoactive intestinal peptide]: VIP is a neuropeptide involved in a diverse array of physiological processes through activating the PACAP subfamily of class B1 G protein-coupled receptors: VIP receptor 1 (VPR1) and VIP receptor 2 (VPR2) (PubMed:1318039, PubMed:36385145, PubMed:8933357). Abundantly expressed throughout the CNS and peripheral nervous systems where they primarily exert neuroprotective and immune modulatory roles (PubMed:3456568). Also causes vasodilation, lowers arterial blood pressure, stimulates myocardial contractility, increases glycogenolysis and relaxes the smooth muscle of trachea, stomach and gall bladder (PubMed:15013843). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1318039, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15013843, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3456568, ECO:0000269|PubMed:36385145, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8933357}., [Intestinal peptide PHM-27]: Bioactive forms that cause vasodilation (PubMed:15013843, PubMed:3654650). PHM-27 is a potent agonist of the calcitonin receptor CALCR, with similar efficacy as calcitonin (PubMed:15013843). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15013843, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3654650}., [Intestinal peptide PHV-42]: Bioactive forms that cause vasodilation (PubMed:15013843, PubMed:3654650). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15013843, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3654650}.,VIP,Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28 amino acid peptide belonging to the secretin-glucagon family of peptide hormones. Its sequence is identical in humans, cows, pigs and rats. VIP is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, acting as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. Peripherally it is involved in vaso- and bronchodilatation, smooth muscle relaxation and stimulation of secretion. Ectopic endocrine tumors secreting VIP (VIPomas) give rise to raised plasma levels of VIP and are associated with watery diarrhea, hypokalemia and achlorhydria syndrome. VIP shows high sequence homology with peptide histidine-methionine (PHM) in humans or peptide histidine-serine (PHI) in pigs or rats, present in the same precursor, and with the neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP).
