| ALT_DEFINITION |
A hormone found in the pancreas, intestine, and central nervous system. It has many actions in the body, such as helping to control the secretion of water, salts, enzymes, and gastric acid during digestion. It also causes smooth muscles in the digestive tract, the heart, and the blood vessels to relax. It also has effects on the immune system and the central nervous system. Certain tumors in the pancreas make large amounts of vasoactive intestinal peptide. |

| DEFINITION |
Encoded by human oncogene VIP Gene (Glucagon-Secretin Family), VIP is a 170-amino acid 19 kD (precursor) octacosameric gastrointestinal peptide and a neuroendocrine mediator in CNS cholinergic neurons and PNS peptidergic neurons. VIP also affects B- and T cells directly. Prepro-VIP contains VIP and 27-amino acid PHM27. A neuropeptide in the lymphoid microenvironment, VIP has anti-inflammatory action, modulates innate and adaptive immunity, causes vasodilation, lowers arterial blood pressure, stimulates myocardial contractility, increases glycogenolysis, and relaxes the smooth muscle of trachea, stomach and gall bladder. VIP promotes TH2 differentiation and inhibits TH1 responses by regulating macrophage co-stimulatory signals. (OMIM, Swiss-Prot, LocusLink, and NCI) |
