  • Title: Stimulation of retinal adenylate cyclase by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP).
    Author: Longshore MA, Makman MH.
    Journal: Eur J Pharmacol; 1981 Mar 12; 70(2):237-40. PubMed ID: 7262187.
    Abstract:
    The effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), secretin and glucagon on retinal adenylate cyclase were studied in rabbit, rat and calf retinas. The results demonstrate the presence of a highly active VIP sensitive adenylate cyclase in mammalian retina. The effects are not enhanced by the guanine nucleotide analog 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p). Glucagon and secretin also caused significant increases in retinal adenylate cyclase activity although, in general, the magnitude of these effects was less than that of VIP.
