DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) is a nonapeptide — a peptide consisting of nine amino acid residues — classified within the neuropeptide research category. It was first characterized in 1977 by Monnier and colleagues at the University of Basel, who isolated it from the venous blood of rabbits following thalamic stimulation. The original research described it as originating from a thalamic perfusate.
The primary structure of DSIP consists of the following amino acid sequence in single-letter and three-letter notation:
DSIP is classified as a neuropeptide in preclinical research literature. Published research has examined its interaction with neuroregulatory pathways in animal model contexts. As a research compound, it is supplied as lyophilized powder, requiring reconstitution prior to use in laboratory settings.
