Description
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (7 amino acids) derived from the endogenous immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, with a stabilizing sequence added to extend its activity. In controlled laboratory settings, Selank is studied for its interaction with the GABAergic system and its influence on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), as well as its modulation of monoamine and enkephalin-related pathways. It is also examined for its effects on the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. This profile positions Selank as a key compound in anxiolytic, nootropic, and neuroendocrine research, where it is frequently studied alongside related regulatory peptides.
Important Note
Selank is not approved for human consumption, medical use, or diagnostic purposes. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research only. Handling should be performed by qualified professionals in an appropriate controlled research setting.
