Description

Description:
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog derived from the naturally occurring tuftsin fragment, engineered for research related to neuroregulation, mood stabilization, and immune modulation. Its structural modifications enhance metabolic stability and receptor selectivity, making it a valuable model compound for studying peptide-based regulation of central nervous system (CNS) and immune pathways in controlled laboratory environments.

Research Applications:
Selank is widely utilized in preclinical and in vitro research examining:

• Peptide-mediated modulation of neurotransmitter systems (e.g., GABA, serotonin)
• Mechanisms of neurotrophic signaling and synaptic plasticity
• Peptide effects on stress-response and behavioral regulation pathways
• Immune-peptide interactions and cytokine modulation
