Gene Information

human ... VIP(7432)

General description

VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) is a 28-amino acid peptide expressed in gastrointestinal tissues and neural tissues. It is originally isolated from porcine duodenum. VIP gene is mapped to human chromosome 6q25.2.

Immunogen

VIP peptides Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-VIP antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) is involved in the VIP biosynthetic pathways. It also acts as a neurotransmitter in neural tissues and works in the relaxation of smooth muscle, stimulation of intestinal water and electrolyte secretion and release of insulin, glucagon and several anterior pituitary hormones. It participates in vasodilation. It acts as a potent agonist of the calcitonin receptor CALCR, with similar efficacy as calcitonin.  

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
