The VIPR1 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC020855) is a valuable tool for research focusing on the VIPR1 protein, a receptor expressed in various tissues, including the brain, pituitary gland, and gastrointestinal tract. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding specifically to VIPR1, researchers can detect and analyze this receptor in different cell types, making it ideal for studies in neuroscience and endocrinology.VIPR1, also known as vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor type 1, is involved in mediating the effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the body.
This receptor plays a crucial role in processes such as neurotransmission, hormonal regulation, and smooth muscle relaxation. Research into VIPR1 is essential for understanding its functions in various physiological systems and for developing targeted therapies for conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, endocrine disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Background:
This gene encodes a receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide, a small neuropeptide. Vasoactive intestinal peptide is involved in smooth muscle relaxation, exocrine and endocrine secretion, and water and ion flux in lung and intestinal epithelia. Its actions are effected through integral membrane receptors associated with a guanine nucleotide binding protein which activates adenylate cyclase. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Synonyms:
vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 1
UniProt Protein Function:
VIPR1: This is a receptor for VIP. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. The affinity is VIP = PACAP-27 > PACAP-38. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
