VIP Spray is a research-use formulation associated with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a naturally occurring 28-amino-acid neuropeptide belonging to the secretin/glucagon peptide family. VIP has been studied extensively in receptor pharmacology, neurobiology, gastrointestinal physiology, vascular signaling, smooth-muscle biology, and cellular signaling. Helix Bio supplies VIP Spray strictly as a research and laboratory material. It is intended for qualified researchers investigating VIP-related molecular pathways and is not intended for human or veterinary administration.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide, commonly abbreviated as VIP, is an endogenous neuropeptide composed of 28 amino acids. It is widely distributed throughout the nervous system and peripheral tissues and has been investigated for its role in several biological signaling processes.
A major area of VIP research involves the G-protein-coupled receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2, also known as VIPR1 and VIPR2. Research has characterized VIP interactions with these receptors and examined downstream signaling involving adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP pathways.
VIP Spray provides researchers with a spray-format research material for controlled laboratory investigation. Because formulation, concentration, stability, and analytical specifications can vary between products, researchers should review the current product documentation and applicable batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) before incorporating the material into a study.
VIP is a peptide ligand associated primarily with the VPAC receptor system. Published research has examined VIP in relation to:
VIP receptor biology is particularly relevant to researchers studying how peptide ligands influence receptor-mediated signaling across different tissues and experimental models.
VIP Spray is intended solely for laboratory and scientific research. It may be relevant to controlled research programs examining peptide signaling, receptor pharmacology, neuropeptide biology, and related molecular mechanisms.
It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or mitigate any disease or medical condition.
Researchers studying neuropeptide biology often need clearly identified research materials with supporting analytical information. VIP is particularly useful as a research subject because its interactions with VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors have been characterized in molecular and pharmacological studies.
The spray format may also be relevant when researchers are specifically investigating formulation or delivery variables as part of an experimental design. However, the presence of a spray format should not be interpreted as evidence of suitability for human administration.
Helix Bio states that its research materials are supported by batch-specific documentation and third-party HPLC and mass-spectrometry testing. Researchers should verify the applicable lot documentation rather than relying solely on general product specifications.
VIP Spray is intended for qualified users conducting legitimate laboratory or scientific research, including:
The material is not intended for consumers seeking products for personal use.
