GlycoErase™ VIP Knockout HepG2 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF721)

Description	GlycoErase™ VIP knockout HepG2 cell line eliminates VIP, which encodes vasoactive intestinal peptide, involved in vasodilation, glycogenolysis, smooth muscle relaxation, and antimicrobial activity through cAMP-dependent signaling. This knockout provides a platform for investigating neuropeptide signaling, prostanoid/GPCR crosstalk, and metabolic and vascular regulation in liver cells, supporting applications in inflammation, cardiovascular biology, and metabolism research.

Target	VIP
Full Name	Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide
Alternative Name	PHM27
Location	6q25.2
Gene ID	7432
Summary	This gene produces a glucagon-family peptide that increases heart contractility, dilates blood vessels, enhances glycogen breakdown, lowers blood pressure, and relaxes smooth muscle. It also shows antibacterial and antifungal activity. Two isoforms result from alternative splicing.
