Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Regulates its Receptor Expression and Functions of Human Keratinocytes via Type I Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2001 Vasoactive intestinal peptide has been suggested to play some roles in inflammatory dermatoses such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. The aim of this study is to clarify the precise mechanisms of how vasoactive intestinal peptide is implicated in the pathogenesis of these disorders.

Presence of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Receptor in the Hen Hypothalamus.
Endocrine Journal, 1995 Radioligand assays of the membrane fraction of hen hypothalamic tissues involving the preoptic (HPOA) or median eminence (HMEA) areas revealed the presence of a specific binding component to chicken vasoactive intestinal peptide (cVIP) having properties of a receptor. The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) was 0.70 +/- 0.07 nM (Mean +/- SEM; N = 5)

Neuropeptide G Protein-Coupled Receptors as Oncotargets
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are overexpressed on numerous cancer cells. In a number of tumors, such as small cell lung cancer (SCLC), bombesin (BB) like peptides and neurotensin (NTS) function as autocrine growth factors whereby they

Tracing the Origins of the Pituitary Adenylate-Cyclase Activating Polypeptide (PACAP)
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a well-conserved neuropeptide characteristic of vertebrates. This pluripotent hypothalamic neuropeptide regulates neurotransmitter release, intestinal motility, metabolism, cell division ...

Characterization of vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors on human megakaryocytes and platelets [PDF]
Blood, 1996 Vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor I (VIPRI) expression was examined in megakaryocytes using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). VIPRI protein was characterized in platelet membranes using covalent crosslinking techniques.
