Binding sites for peptide-histidine-isoleucine (PHI) on rat insulinoma-derived RINm5F cells.
    Molecular and cellular endocrinology, 1988, Volume: 60, Issue:2-3

    Specific binding sites for 125I-labelled rat peptide-histidine-isoleucine (PHI) were identified on rat insulinoma-derived RINm5F cells. The concentrations of peptides producing half-maximal displacement of label were rat PHI, 0.36 +/- 0.14 nM, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), 0.38 +/- 0.13 nM and secretin, approximately 0.2 microM. Glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1(7-36)amide were without effect on binding. PHI and VIP produced dose-dependent increases in cAMP production in the cells that were significantly (P less than 0.05) above unstimulated rates for ligand concentrations between 10(-8) and 10(-6) M. Both PHI and VIP produced a small but significant (P less than 0.05) enhancement in the rate of release of immunoreactive insulin from the cells but the effect was not dose dependent.

Structure of the human vasoactive intestinal polypeptide gene.
    DNA (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.), 1985, Volume: 4, Issue:4

    Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is a 28-amino-acid hormone produced primarily by neural tissues. The amino acid sequence of VIP is similar to that of a number of gastrointestinal hormones, including glucagon and secretin. VIP is synthesized as part of a polyprotein, pre-proVIP, which generates, in addition to VIP, an additional bioactive peptide known as PHM. As a first step toward understanding the molecular basis of pre-proVIP gene expression, we have isolated the pre-proVIP gene and have determined its structure. The gene is approximately 9 kb long and is interrupted by six introns which appear to divide the gene into functional domains. One of the introns occurs within the 3'-untranslated region of the gene.
