Product Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin, an endogenous immune-related peptide. Its Pro-Gly-Pro extension improves stability and gives researchers a distinctive model for studying the overlap between emotional regulation, cognition, and immune-neuroendocrine communication.
The compound is best known for anxiolytic and nootropic research. Study areas include anxiety-like behavior, stress resilience, memory and learning, enkephalin metabolism, inflammatory gene expression, and neuroimmune signaling. The lack of a strongly sedative research profile is a major reason Selank continues to stand apart from conventional anxiety models.
For projects that need both cognitive and stress-response endpoints, Selank brings those two worlds together in a compact peptide.
Common Research Areas
⦁ Anxiety and stress-response models
⦁ Cognitive performance and memory
⦁ Neuroimmune communication
⦁ Inflammatory gene expression
