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 possible pathogenic factor in sweating of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. To investigate a possible role for a defective VIP-gene in cystic fibrosis, we have used a panel of rodent-human hybrid cells, retaining defined complements of human chromosomes to localize the VIP-gene to the human chromosome region 6p21→6qter. As the CF gene was recently mapped to chromosome 7, we conclude that the VIP-gene is not the primary gene defect in this disease.
