SELANK
For Research Use Only | Not for Human or Veterinary Use
Description:
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of the endogenous immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg), extended at the C-terminus with a Pro-Gly-Pro stabilizing sequence. Developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Selank is investigated in preclinical laboratory research for its anxiolytic-like activity, immunomodulatory properties, and effects on neurotrophic factor expression. The C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension confers enhanced metabolic stability and resistance to peptidase degradation compared to native tuftsin, making Selank a valuable research tool in neuroimmunology, GABAergic signaling studies, and stress-response pathway analysis.
