  • Title: Isolation and characterization of a variant form of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide.
    Author: Gafvelin G, Andersson M, Dimaline R, Jörnvall H, Mutt V.
    Journal: Peptides; 1988; 9(3):469-74. PubMed ID: 2843830.
    Abstract:
    A variant form of the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) has been isolated. It was found to consist of a molecule which instead of the C-terminal asparagine amide of VIP has a C-terminal extension of Gly-Lys-Arg. This VIP variant displaces VIP in a VIP receptor assay, reacts with N-terminally-directed antisera in a VIP radioimmunoassay and possesses VIP-like bioactivity in an assay measuring pancreatic juice secretion in the cat.
