DSIP
An amphiphilic synthetic nonapeptide with no identified gene precursor or cloned receptor.
Quick answers
What is DSIP?
DSIP is an amphiphilic synthetic nonapeptide with no identified gene precursor or cloned receptor. It is a synthetic peptide (nonapeptide) of 9 amino acids with a molecular weight of 848.8 g/mol and the formula C35H48N10O15.
How much published research cites DSIP?
The Luvaminos DSIP record cites 22 published references, dated 1977 to 2009. Each is listed on this page with a link to its source.
Does Luvaminos test DSIP, and where is the certificate?
Luvaminos does not currently stock DSIP. Every peptide lot Luvaminos sells is tested by Freedom Diagnostics Testing, PLLC, an independent laboratory, and its certificate is published at luvaminos.com/coa under the lot number printed on the vial.
How is DSIP powder stored?
Sealed DSIP powder: -20 °C; protect from light and moisture; stable up to 1 year. Sensitive to aminopeptidase cleavage; alpha-Asp/beta-Asp isomerization is relevant to identity; protect from light.

Mechanism & Target Class
An amphiphilic nonapeptide (Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu, ~850 Da) whose gene precursor has not been identified and for which no dedicated receptor has been cloned. It has no close sequence homologues and co-localizes immunohistochemically with other small peptides in structural distribution-mapping studies. The unmodified backbone is subject to rapid degradation by aminopeptidases, giving a short in-vitro half-life that is relevant to handling and assay design; alpha-Asp/beta-Asp isomerization at the Asp residues is a recognized identity consideration.
Storage & Handling
- Lyophilized
- -20 °C; protect from light and moisture; stable up to 1 year.
- Handling
- Sensitive to aminopeptidase cleavage; alpha-Asp/beta-Asp isomerization is relevant to identity; protect from light.
