Selank

Description

Overview

Selank is a synthetic regulatory peptide engineered from the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) with the addition of Pro-Gly-Pro to enhance metabolic stability. It has been developed and studied for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), neuroprotective and nootropic (cognitive-enhancement) properties. Research shows it modulates neurotransmitter systems, gene expression in the central nervous system, and acts via GABAergic, serotonin and dopamine pathways.

Product Details

• Sequence: Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro
• Analog: Synthetic tuftsin-derived peptide
• Research Status: Research-grade only; not approved for therapeutic human or veterinary use
• Primary Research Themes: Anxiolysis, nootropic activity, modulation of immune and nervous system signaling
• CAS Number: 129954-34-3

Research Applications

• Anxiolytic & Stress-Response Models: Selank has been used in animal research to examine modulation of gene expression in the GABAergic system and compared to classical anxiolytics such as benzodiazepines.
• Nootropic & Cognitive Function Studies: Investigated in models of memory, learning, neural plasticity and neurotransmitter balance (e.g., serotonin, dopamine) as a neuropeptide with potential cognitive-enhancing effects.
• Immunomodulatory & Neuroimmune Research: Explored for its effects on immune markers (such as IL-6) and the interplay between neural and immune pathways.
