Product Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide made up of 7 amino acids. It is derived from tuftsin, an endogenous immunomodulatory peptide, with a stabilizing sequence added to extend its activity.
Laboratory research on Selank looks at its interaction with the GABAergic system and its influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression. It is also studied for its role in monoamine and enkephalin-related pathways and in the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. It is commonly used in neuroscience and neuroendocrine research, often alongside related regulatory peptides.
