VPAC Receptors
VPAC1/2VIP's two receptors. They open airways, widen vessels, move the gut and damp cytokine output, which is why one peptide is studied for conditions as unrelated as pulmonary hypertension and inflammatory bowel disease.
Relationships
3 connectionsVPAC Receptors expressed in
Bronchial Lining
The lining of the airways. It is the target of the lung bioregulators and one of the tissues VIP acts on.
Gut Lining
The single cell layer separating gut contents from the bloodstream. Most peptides sold for gut health are aimed at either repairing it or keeping its tight junctions shut.
Vascular Endothelium
The single-cell lining of every blood vessel. It sets vessel tone and is where plaque begins when lipids and pressure both move the wrong way.
