Delta sleep-inducing peptide, immunoreactor pseudogene

The "Delta sleep-inducing peptide, immunoreactor pseudogene" (gene symbol ENSG00000236413, also known as LOC107985643) is listed in genomic databases as a **pseudogene** associated with the TSC22 domain protein family, containing sequence resemblance to leucine zipper-containing proteins and transcriptional regulators such as TSC22 domain family protein 3[1]. This pseudogene shares significant sequence similarity with the murine TSC-22 and Drosophila shs gene products and is sometimes referred to by aliases suggesting an association with the originally described **delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP)** and related immunoreactive proteins. Unlike the biologically active DSIP peptide or its putative protein immunoreactors, this entry represents a **pseudogene**—a non-functional gene copy—and is not known to encode a protein or act as a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or transporter. **No direct biological or therapeutic function has been established for this pseudogene, and it is not a direct target for drugs or research into sleep regulation or related disorders**[1].
