NCIt definition : VIP peptides (170 aa, 19 kDa) is encoded by the human VIP gene. This protein plays
a role in the regulation of vasodilation.;
NCIt note : VIP peptides is cleaved into 3 active peptides comprised of amino acid residues 81-122,
which is called intestinal peptide PHV-42 (peptide histidine valine 42), residues
81-122, which is called intestinal peptide PHM-27 (peptide histidine methioninamide
27), or residues 125-152, which is called vasoactive intestinal peptide (vasoactive
intestinal polypeptide; VIP). (UniProt);
