Gene information for VIP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7432
Official gene symbolVIP
Full namevasoactive intestinal peptide
Aliases,MGC13587,PHM27,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glucagon family. It stimulates myocardial contractility, causes vasodilation, increases glycogenolysis, lowers arterial blood pressure and relaxes the smooth muscle of trachea, stomach and gall bladder. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
