Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide of the secretin/glucagon superfamily. It signals through VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors and has been studied for roles in vasodilation, circadian pacemaking in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and immune modulation in inflammatory research models.
