Description
VIP is a research material commonly used as a reference standard or experimental reagent in controlled laboratory settings. Typical use cases include VPAC1/VPAC2 receptor binding and cAMP functional assays, smooth muscle and vascular preparations, circadian biology, immune cell assays, and analytical method development.
VIP is rapidly degraded in biological matrices — which is why much of the analog literature focuses on stabilized derivatives. It also contains a methionine residue susceptible to oxidation; protect from oxidative exposure during handling.
Documentation such as COA, HPLC chromatograms, and LC-MS data may be available on a lot basis where applicable. Request documentation by emailing connect@novuspeptides.com with the catalog number and required tests.
