Compound Identity
DSIP is a naturally occurring nonapeptide (9 amino acids; MW ≈ 848.9 Da; sequence: Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu) first isolated from rabbit cerebral venous blood in the 1970s. It is classified as a neuropeptide and is characterized in scientific literature for its hydrophilic and physicochemical properties as studied in neuropeptide transport research models.
Receptor Selectivity Profile
The molecular targets of DSIP remain incompletely characterized in the scientific literature. No single canonical receptor has been definitively established. Research continues into the peptide's receptor binding profile, with investigations across neuroendocrine and hypothalamic-pituitary axis signaling pathways in preclinical models.
