      DescriptionChemiScreen™ VPAC1 Membrane Preparation
      OverviewHuman VIPR1 cDNA, encoding VPAC1
      Background InformationVasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a 28 amino acid peptide originally isolated by its vasodilation activity, binds to two class B GPCRs, VPAC1 and VPAC2, to exert its functions in the CNS, vasculature, immune system and adrenal medulla (Harmar et al., 1998). In the immune system, VIP is synthesized by mast cells and lymphocytes, and appears to inhibit inflammation and to shift the immune response toward a Th2 pathway (Delgado et al., 2004). In the heart, VIP is expressed by nerve fibers, where it modulates heart rate, and coronary blood flow (Henning and Sawmiller, 2001). Chemicon's VPAC1 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of VPAC1 interactions with VIP. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 1.2 nM for [125I]-VIP. With 2.5 μg/well VPAC1 Membrane Prep and 0.4 nM [125I]-VIP, a greater than 5-fold signal-to-background ratio is obtained.

      Entrez Gene Number
      Entrez Gene SummaryThis 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.

      UniProt Number
      UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P32241 # 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.
      SIZE: 457 amino acids; 51547 Da
      SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
      TISSUE SPECIFICITY: In lung, HT29 colonic epithelial cells, Raji B-lymphoblasts. Lesser extent in brain, heart, kidney, liver and placenta.
      SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P32241 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family.
      Incubation ConditionsMembranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, a GF/C 96-well filter plate is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.

      Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C

      Radioligand: [125I] VIP (Perkin Elmer# NEX192)

      Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.

      One package contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where a unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 5-fold signal:background with 125I-labeled VIP at 0.4 nM
