Description

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is an analogue of tuftsin, a naturally occurring immunomodulatory tetrapeptide, extended with a Pro-Gly-Pro sequence that slows enzymatic breakdown.

What is Selank?

Selank has been studied in animal models for its effects on GABAergic signalling, monoamine turnover and the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Because it comes from tuftsin, it is also investigated for effects on cytokine expression and immune signalling. It is often compared with Semax, a separate peptide derived from ACTH(4-10).
