Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide is a 28-residue amidated peptide belonging to the secretin/glucagon superfamily, first isolated from porcine duodenum in 1970.
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide is a 28-residue amidated peptide belonging to the secretin/glucagon superfamily, first isolated from porcine duodenum in 1970.
It is strongly basic and adsorbs readily to untreated glass and plastic - a genuine practical problem at low working concentrations, where material loss to container surfaces can be significant. Low-binding tubes or a carrier protein are standard precautions.
The sequence contains an oxidation-sensitive methionine at position 17 and is amidated at the C-terminus, both confirmed at lot release.

Vials arrive lyophilized and sealed under nitrogen. Bring the vial fully to room temperature before breaking the seal — opening a cold vial condenses atmospheric moisture onto the cake.
Direct diluent gently against the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the cake, and allow the material to dissolve without agitation. Vortexing shears longer sequences and introduces air.
Lyophilized: -20 C, desiccated. Reconstituted: 2-8 C, use within 14 days.
A full walkthrough is in the reconstitution guide, and the calculator will work out concentration and draw volume for this vial size.
Standard laboratory practice applies: appropriate personal protective equipment, no consumption, no administration to humans or animals, and disposal in accordance with institutional protocol and local regulation.
Per-lot laboratory certificate: pending. A reverse-phase HPLC purity report, an LAL bacterial endotoxin assay and a mass-spec identity confirmation for lot PS-2117980 have not been generated or published. PeptideSeed is working directly with its supplier to obtain genuine per-lot documentation and will publish it here, tied to this exact lot number, once it exists. New to reading these? See how to read a certificate of analysis.
It is strongly basic and binds readily to untreated glass and plastic. Use low-binding labware or add a carrier protein at low working concentrations.
The secretin/glucagon superfamily.
Adsorptive loss plus methionine oxidation both act on the solution over time.
VIP is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research only. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, food or cosmetic, is not approved by the FDA for any use in humans or animals, and no dosing guidance is published for it. Nothing on this page is a therapeutic, structure–function or health claim. Purchasers must be 21 or over and are responsible for compliance with all applicable law. Full terms of supply.
