FAQ
- What is VIP in research context?
- VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) is a synthetic 28-amino acid neuropeptide belonging to a family of signaling proteins, studied in immune and gut research.
- How should VIP be stored after reconstitution?
- VIP degrades rapidly at room temperature (24-48 hours). Cold storage and careful handling are essential immediately after mixing with bacteriostatic water.
- Is VIP FDA approved for any use?
- No. VIP is research-only and not FDA-approved. A related synthetic version called aviptadil received Fast Track designation for COVID-19 research but remains unapproved.
