B-box and SPRY domain containing

Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in innate immune response. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Predicted to be located in cell leading edge; membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

VIP Gene

vasoactive intestinal peptide

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. The protein also acts as an antimicrobial peptide with antibacterial and antifungal activity. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
