DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) is a naturally derived neuropeptide first isolated from animal brain tissue and widely used in laboratory studies exploring sleep regulation, neuroendocrine signaling, and circadian rhythm pathways. Its structural properties allow researchers to analyze how short regulatory peptides behave within complex neurochemical systems under controlled research conditions.
In preclinical and in vitro models, DSIP is commonly employed to investigate stress-response pathways, hormonal modulation, neuropeptide signaling, and oxidative-stress–related biochemical processes. Its stability and well-characterized profile make it a reliable tool for studies examining interactions between neuropeptides and central regulatory circuits.
