About Selank

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, with an added Pro-Gly-Pro sequence to enhance metabolic stability. Developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it has been the subject of extensive research investigating its anxiolytic effects, cognitive enhancement potential, and immunomodulatory properties.

Preclinical studies have demonstrated that Selank influences the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and modulates monoamine neurotransmitter metabolism, particularly serotonin and norepinephrine, in various brain regions. Additional research has explored its effects on learning, memory consolidation, and stress-induced behavioral changes in animal models.

Selank is provided as a lyophilized powder for laboratory and preclinical research purposes only. Each vial is tested for peptide sequence accuracy, purity, and endotoxin levels to ensure suitability for controlled experimental applications.
