In the mammalian brain, a major regulatory peptide is vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP).
This 28 amino acid peptide, originally isolated from the porcine duodenum, was later found …

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a major regulatory peptide in the nervous system,
playing a role in normal brain activity. VIP levels change dramatically during postnatal rat …

We have studied the structure and expression of the gene for vasoactive intestinal
polypeptide (VIP) in rodents. We used a human cDNA to identify and clone a fragment of the …

In addition to its commonly recognized status as a neuromodulator of virtually all vital
functions, including neurobiological., the neuropeptide VIP plays a role in the control of cell …

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino acid neuropeptide that belongs to the
secretin-glucagon superfamily of peptides and has 68% homology with PACAP. VIP is …

Research on VIP continues at a rapid pace. Recent progress includes: insights into its
biosynthesis (and that of a closely related PHI-like peptide) and its neuronal localization …

Recent research has revealed that some of the peptides isolated from the gut are also
present in the central nervous system, and, vice versa, several brain peptides are found in …

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) has a variety of physiological effects.
Pharmacological evidence suggesting that VIP acts via multiple receptors has been …

Data are presented to show that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is synthesized and
secreted by the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary and that it participates in the regulation …

VIP is a neuroregulator occurring in the central and peripheral nervous system which
exhibits the function of neurotransmitter in the brain, neuroendocrine substance at the …
