Description

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the endogenous immunomodulatory peptide Tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg).
It is designed for research into anxiolytic, cognitive-enhancing, and neuroprotective effects through modulation of neuropeptide and monoamine neurotransmitter systems.

Selank has been shown in preclinical studies to regulate serotonin and dopamine turnover, enhance BDNF expression, and reduce anxiety-like behaviors without sedative or dependency effects.
Additionally, it exhibits immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, likely via modulation of cytokine release and GABAergic transmission.

The peptide provides a model for exploring peptide-based regulation of mood, cognition, and stress adaptation, with particular relevance to homeostatic balance between immune and neural networks.

Intended Use

This product is intended for laboratory research use only.
It is not for human consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications.
All handling should be performed by qualified professionals in a controlled research environment.

Key Research Applications

• Investigation of neuropeptide modulation of GABA and monoamine neurotransmission
