The role of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) in regulating STAR. VIP-mediated induction of PKC and type I PKA can induce StAR expression but results only in weak P-STAR and hence lower steroidogenic response. However, together with selective type II PKA activators, VIP increases P-STAR and enhances progesterone output.
