DSIP - delta sleep inducing peptide

DSIP stands for Delta sleep-inducing peptide. This type of peptide is classified as a neuropeptide and it works by inducing delta EEG activity and by reducing motor activity. Its aminoacid sequence is Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu, but the gene for this peptide isnt mapped. This peptide was discovered during the mid-70s, by a group of Swiss scientists. They isolated the peptide from the brain blood of rabbits which had been induced into sleep. This group of scientists found that the peptide regulated sleep by inducing a type of sleep which is known as slow-wave sleep.
