Description

Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide represents a naturally occurring nonapeptide originally isolated from rabbit brain tissue and subsequently characterized for its sleep-promoting properties in various research models. The compound demonstrates complex biological activities beyond sleep regulation, including potential effects on stress response, temperature regulation, and neuroendocrine function. The peptide consists of nine amino acids in the sequence Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu, forming a unique neuropeptide with distinctive biological properties. DSIP functions through mechanisms that are not fully characterized but appear to involve modulation of sleep-wake regulatory centers in the brain and interactions with various neurotransmitter systems. Research applications include investigation of sleep physiology, circadian biology, and the molecular mechanisms underlying sleep-wake regulation. For research use only.
