Neuropeptide TIP39 as a pluripotent brain molecule and its potential functions in postpartum depression
The multifunctional nature of TIP39, as evidenced by its roles in diverse physiological processes, opens up a promising avenue for further investigation. The investigation of TIP39's role in mood regulation and maternal behavior provides a possible rationale for its consideration as a therapeutic target for PPD. This review is a tentative step to bridge TIP39 and PPD symptoms, with the ultimate goal of providing a new sight for the remedy of this prevalent and often debilitating disorder.
