VIP, or Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide, is a 28-amino-acid peptide supplied for controlled laboratory and analytical research. Its defined sequence and molecular composition make it suitable for scientific studies involving peptide characterization, molecular interactions, receptor-associated biochemical systems, structural analysis, and comparative analytical research.
PubChem lists full-length VIP with CAS 37221-79-7, molecular formula C₁₄₇H₂₃₇N₄₃O₄₃S, molecular weight approximately 3326.8 g/mol, and the sequence HSDAVFTDNYTRLRKQMAVKKYLNSILN.
For final technical documentation, the exact product form, purity specification, salt or counter-ion status, and lot-specific analytical profile should be confirmed using the applicable Certificate of Analysis.
Research Applications
VIP may be examined in controlled non-clinical research involving:
- Peptide identity and characterization
- Ligand-receptor interaction studies
- Molecular signaling research
- Structure-function analysis
- Analytical peptide comparison
- Stability assessment
- Non-clinical biochemical and cellular models
Any observations should remain limited to the applicable experimental system and should not be interpreted as evidence of therapeutic, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, or clinical effectiveness.
Structural Information
VIP consists of 28 amino-acid residues:
His-Ser-Asp-Ala-Val-Phe-Thr-Asp-Asn-Tyr-Thr-Arg-Leu-Arg-Lys-Gln-Met-Ala-Val-Lys-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ile-Leu-Asn
One-letter sequence:
HSDAVFTDNYTRLRKQMAVKKYLNSILN
PubChem represents the full peptide as:
H-HSDAVFTDNYTRLRKQMAVKKYLNSILN-OH.
Analytical Identification
Relevant analytical characterization may include:
- Amino-acid sequence confirmation
- Molecular mass assessment
- Chromatographic purity testing
- Peptide identity verification
- Structural characterization
- Lot-specific quality analysis
VIP fragments such as VIP (1-11), VIP (7-11), and VIP (10-28) are chemically distinct and should not be documented using the specifications of full-length VIP.
Specifications & Documentation
Lot-specific documentation should be reviewed for:
- Compound identity
- Amino-acid sequence
- Molecular formula
- Molecular weight
- Purity specification
- Salt or counter-ion form
- Analytical testing
- Lot or batch information
- Certificate of Analysis
- Storage requirements
Authenticated product-specific analytical records should take precedence over generalized reference information.
Storage & Handling
Store according to the conditions specified on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Protect the material from environmental conditions that could compromise peptide integrity.
Handling should follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for research materials.
Research Use Only
VIP is supplied exclusively for laboratory research, analytical testing, and scientific reference purposes.
