About VIP 10mg
VIP is unusually broad in its distribution, acting as a neurotransmitter in the enteric nervous system, a vasodilator in the vasculature, an immunomodulator on T-cell differentiation and a core signalling molecule in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, where it is essential for maintaining circadian synchrony between neurons. That range means the experimental context determines which receptor and which downstream pathway dominates. Its half-life in circulation is very short, on the order of a minute, which is the practical constraint that shapes most protocol design around it.
Storage and reconstitution
Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C in a dry, dark environment. Reconstitute in bacteriostatic water. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature for shipping and short-term storage.
Shipping within Canada
Orders placed before 2:00 PM Pacific on a business day are packed and dispatched the same day. Orders placed after that cut-off, or on a weekend or statutory holiday, are dispatched on the next business day. Parcels leave British Columbia, Canada and travel entirely within the country, so nothing on this order crosses a border, clears customs or is held by CBSA. Orders over CA$200 ship free; see the shipping page for transit times by province.
