Mouse Vasoactive intestinal peptide ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: VIP ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-VIP antibody and an VIP-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with VIP-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the VIP concentration since VIP from samples and VIP-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-VIP antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by VIP from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind VIP-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The VIP concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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]
Uniprot Description
VIP: VIP causes vasodilation, lowers arterial blood pressure, stimulates myocardial contractility, increases glycogenolysis and relaxes the smooth muscle of trachea, stomach and gall bladder. Belongs to the glucagon family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Mouse VIP vip (Catalog #AAA720553) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA720553 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse VIP. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Vasoactive intestinal peptide, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
