Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a regulatory neuropeptide involved in a wide variety of functions, among them vasodilation, smooth muscle relaxation, sweat secretion, gastrointestinal peristalsis, and pancreatic function. A deficient VIP-innervation of sweat glands was recently described as a
The polypeptide hormones gastrin and cholecystokinin are structurally related, having the identical pentapeptide GWMDF located at their C-terminus. The precursors to these two hormones also show amino acid homology, suggesting that they may have a common ancestral origin. Recombinant DNA clones corr
