Selank
A synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin’s natural tetrapeptide core (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg), extended with a Pro-Gly-Pro sequence for improved metabolic stability. It was developed to study how immune-derived peptides influence neural pathways related to mood, stress response, and cognition.
Research Focus
- Regulation of mood, focus, and stress adaptation through neuro-immune signaling.
- Modulation of GABAergic activity and receptor subunit expression.
- Effects on monoamine neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine) and BDNF.
- Influence on cytokine balance and T helper cell signaling in immune response.
- Potential support for emotional stability and cognitive performance.
Mechanisms Under Study
- Alteration of gene expression in GABAergic system components.
- Allosteric modulation of GABA binding to GABA_A receptors.
- Cross-talk between immune and nervous systems in regulating homeostasis.
Product Information
- Supplied as a lyophilized sterile powder.
- Third-party verified for purity, molecular identity, and composition.
- For laboratory research use only, not for human or animal use.
