01Product details
Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) developed at the M.M. Shemyakin Institute and the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is structurally based on the immune-active tetrapeptide tuftsin (TKPR), with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension for stability.
Research Background
Selank has been studied in research on anxiety, stress response, immune-CNS crosstalk, and cognitive function. It is one of several Russian-developed neuropeptides used as reference compounds in Eastern European neuropharmacology.
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C and use within recommended timeframes. Handle under sterile laboratory conditions and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Disclaimer:
This product is for laboratory research use only. It is not intended for human or animal consumption or for use in any diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
02Mechanism of action
Selank is reported to influence GABAergic signaling, with research suggesting modulation of GABA-A receptor expression and function. It also interacts with monoaminergic systems, has been shown to alter expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and enkephalin pathways, and exhibits immune-modulatory activity inherited from its tuftsin-derived backbone.
03Research applications
Selank is studied in research on anxiety models, stress response, cognition, and immunomodulation. It is a reference compound for tuftsin-derived peptide research.
