Description：Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, and cardiovascular system. It exerts a broad spectrum of physiological effects by binding to VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors, including vasodilation, regulation of gastrointestinal motility and secretion, inhibition of inflammatory responses, modulation of immune cell function, as well as participation in neurotransmission, thermoregulation, and circadian rhythm. It is commonly used in basic pharmacological and mechanistic studies related to gastrointestinal diseases, inflammation, cardiovascular function, and neuroendocrine regulation.

FAQ：

How do you dissolve polypeptides?

The solubility of polypeptide depends mainly on its primary and secondary structure, the nature of modification label, solvent type and final concentration. If the peptide is insoluble in water, ultrasound can help dissolve it. For basic peptide, it is recommended to dissolve with 10% acetic acid; For acidic peptides, dissolution with 10%NH4HCO3 is recommended. Organic solvents can also be added to insoluble polypeptides. The peptide is dissolved in the least amount of organic solvent (e.g., DMSO, DMF, isopropyl alcohol, methanol, etc.). It is highly recommended that the peptide be dissolved in the organic solvent first and then slowly added to water or other buffer until the desired concentration.

What problems should be paid attention to in the storage process?

The peptide you received was packaged in lyophilized powder. Peptides are hydrophilic, and absorption of water will reduce the stability of the peptide and reduce the peptide content. Please pay attention to the following: first, with desiccants, stored in a dry environment. Second, once received, please immediately put into the freezer -20℃ storage, in order to maintain maximum stability. Third, avoid the use of no automatic frost function of the freezer. Changes in humidity and temperature can affect the stability of peptides. Fourth, the external temperature during transportation does not affect the validity and quality of peptides.

​​​​​​​How is my peptide transported? What test reports are provided?

All freeze-dried polypeptides are usually stored in special containers of 2 ml or 10ml with original analytical data and synthesis reports containing important information such as sequence, molecular weight, purity, weight, and number of the polypeptide.

If a VIP is 98% pure, what is 2%?

Two percent of the composition was truncated or deleted sequence fragments.

Which end is best for my research?

By default, the peptide ends with an N-terminal free amino group and a C-terminal free carboxyl group. The peptide sequence often represents the sequence of the mother protein. In order to be closer to the mother protein, the end of the peptide often needs to be closed, that is, n-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation. This modification avoids the introduction of excess charge, and also makes it more able to prevent exonucliase action, so that the peptide is more stable.
