DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide): Research Overview
Quick Answer
DSIP (delta sleep-inducing peptide) is a nonapeptide, Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu, first isolated in the 1970s from cerebral venous blood. Formula C35H48N10O15, molecular weight 848.8 g/mol, CAS 62568-57-4. It is studied in sleep-regulation neurochemistry, stress-hormone signaling and cellular stress assays.
Key Takeaways
- Nine residues: WAGGDASGE.
- C35H48N10O15, 848.8 g/mol, CAS 62568-57-4.
- Named for the experiment it was first found in, not a confirmed mechanism.
- Grouped with neuropeptides such as Selank and Semax.

Where the Name Comes From
DSIP was isolated in the 1970s and named for the electroencephalographic pattern associated with the fraction it came from. Its receptor and precise mechanism remain unresolved, which is why it is mainly a tool compound in neurochemistry rather than a characterized receptor ligand.
Research Areas
- Sleep-regulation neurochemistry
- Stress-hormone signaling
- Cellular stress assays

Storage of the Sealed Vial
The compound ships as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) solid in a sealed vial labelled with its lot number. Store sealed vials as stated on the label, protected from light and moisture; see our storage and handling guide for temperature ranges.
Analytical Verification and Documentation
Each lot is tested by Testides, an independent laboratory, for HPLC purity and content, and the certificate is published with its report number so it can be checked against the lab’s record: DSIP 5 mg certificate. New to certificates? Read how to read a COA.
