VIPR1

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor 1 (VIPR1)

VIPR1 is a Membrane hormone receptor (RTK/GPCR) on the endocrine & hormone axis. G protein-coupled receptor activated by the neuropeptides vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (ADCYAP1/PACAP) (PubMed:35477937, PubMed:36385145, PubMed:8179610). Binds VIP and both PACAP27 and PACAP38 bioactive peptides with … It is indexed under "Additional peptide-hormone membrane receptors (selected)" on our pathway page for antibodies, inhibitors, and assay guidance.

Research notes

  • Combine with other genes in the same hub block via genetics or pharmacology to test non-redundant roles of VIPR1.
  • For nuclear receptors pair ligands, co-regulators, and reporter assays; for membrane receptors note GPCR/RTK downstream and desensitization.
  • Verify antibody clone, phospho-site, and stimulation; include KD/KO or inhibitor controls.

Assay readouts for VIPR1

  • Receptor activation: VIPR1 ligand-induced p-Tyr / p-AKT / cAMP.
  • GPCR: β-arrestin recruitment and internalization; second-messenger reporters.
  • RTK: insulin/IGF IRS–PI3K axis where applicable.
  • Pharmacology: peptide hormones or small-molecule agonist/antagonist matrices.

VIPR1 experimental notes

Examples below reflect common literature and public resources (e.g., CCLE, DepMap)—validate genotypes, expression, and passage in your own stocks before committing assays.

[1] Cell lines commonly used for VIPR1 studies (examples)

  • Tool lines: HEK293T, CHO, MIN6, MCF-7, Ba/F3—screen by VIPR1 expression and pathway context (CCLE/DepMap).
  • Combine with neighbors (PTH1R, PTH2R, CALCR, CALCRL) via KD/pharmacology to test non-redundancy.
  • Overexpression/rescue in HEK293T supports mechanism and IP workflows.
  • Isogenic/CRISPR models separate pathway dependency from bypass survival.

[2] Cell samples for VIPR1 Western blot

  • Whole-cell lysates—optimize RIPA/NP-40 per antibody; phosphatase inhibitors for phospho blots.
  • Stimulation: serum starvation ± insulin/EGF or amino-acid withdrawal/refeed as relevant.
  • Controls: siRNA/shRNA, CRISPR KO, or inhibitors to validate band specificity.
  • Loading: BCA normalization; subcellular fractionation when needed.

[3] Tissue samples for VIPR1 Western blot

  • Matched tumor/adjacent frozen tissues after pathology review.
  • Mouse GEMM or xenografts—mind species antibody cross-reactivity.
  • Primary cells/PDCs when ethically approved.
  • FFPE needs specialized extraction; frozen tissue preferred for phospho work.

[4] Cell samples for VIPR1 immunoprecipitation

  • Tagged overexpression: HEK293T FLAG/HA-VIPR1 for complex capture.
  • Endogenous IP: high-expression lines; often ≥1–5×10⁶ cells per IP.
  • Stimulation: ligand or nutrient treatments enrich interactions—pilot time courses.
  • Controls: isotype IgG, empty vector, KD/KO negatives.

Human tissues and primary cells require ethics/IRB approval; tumors are heterogeneous—record histotype, site, and preservation conditions.

Models & genetics note

Overexpression vs endogenous VIPR1 can differ in dosage, splicing, and compartmentation—in organoids/PDX, record passage, matrix, and drug history.
