Function

DSIP is a Neuropeptide.

This Peptide was originally described for inducing spindle and delta sleep activity when infused into the brain of rabbits; later studies report stress-modulating and endocrine effects, though its physiological role is still debated47

Mechanism

DSIP is an endogenous nonapeptide, Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu, with proposed neuromodulatory actions; it interacts with components of the MAPK cascade and may be related to glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ), but its precise biosynthetic origin remains unknown4757

DSIP is a Neurotransmitter modulator.
