Hormone that affects blood pressure / heart rate
Vasoactive intestinal peptide , also known as vasoactive intestinal polypeptide or VIP , is a peptide hormone that is vasoactive in the intestine. VIP is a peptide of 28 amino acid residues that belongs to a glucagon/secretin superfamily , the ligand of class II G protein–coupled receptors .[ 5]
VIP is produced in many tissues of vertebrates including the gut , pancreas , cortex , and suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus in the brain .[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] VIP stimulates contractility in the heart, causes vasodilation , increases glycogenolysis , lowers arterial blood pressure and relaxes the smooth muscle of trachea , stomach and gallbladder . In humans, the vasoactive intestinal peptide is encoded by the VIP gene .[ 9]
VIP has a half-life (t½ ) in the blood of about two minutes.[ 10]
