Target
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28 amino acid peptide belonging to the secretin-glucagon family of peptide hormones. Its sequence is identical in humans, cows, pigs and rats. VIP is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, acting as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. Peripherally it is involved in vaso- and bronchodilatation, smooth muscle relaxation and stimulation of secretion. Ectopic endocrine tumors secreting VIP (VIPomas) give rise to raised plasma levels of VIP and are associated with watery diarrhea, hypokalemia and achlorhydria syndrome. VIP shows high sequence homology with peptide histidine-methionine (PHM) in humans or peptide histidine-serine (PHI) in pigs or rats, present in the same precursor, and with the neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP).

Application

ELISA: A dilution guideline of 1/1000 applies to VIP coated directly at 2 μg/mL. For glutaraldehyde-linked VIP-ovalbumin (molar ratio 4:1) coated at 2 μg/mL, the dilution is 1/32,000.

WB: ABS 023-02 can be used in Western blotting.

IHC: ABS 023-02 was used in IHC in formaline fixed paraffin embedded tissue with a dilution of 1:100.
