Binding of radioiodinated vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) to intestinal cell membranes of the rabbit ileum and rat jejunum was investigated. Specific binding of 125I-labeled VIP could be demonstrated only on the basolateral membrane and not on the brush border membrane. This corresponded with the lack of an effect on ion transport when VIP was applied to the mucosal side of an in vitro preparation of rabbit ileum. VIP altered ion transport only when it was applied to the serosal side. The binding of 125I-VIP was specific and dependent upon incubation temperature. There was a close correlation between the potency of VIP for inhibition of 125I-VIP binding and that for increasing adenylate cyclase activity. These observations demonstrate that VIP receptors are located on the basolateral membrane.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
