Description
Product Characteristics: This immunoassay kit allows for the in vitro quantitative determination of chicken VIP peptides concentrations in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids.
Target Information: The 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, Jul 2008]
