About this product
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the natural immunomodulating peptide tuftsin. It is mainly researched in the area of anxiety, stress response, cognition and neurochemical regulation. Experimental works monitor serotonin, GABAergic and neurotrophic mechanisms.
What is SELANK?
SELANK is characterized in this portfolio as a synthetic peptide or peptide analog intended for controlled laboratory investigation. Scientific interest centers on anxiety and stress, cognition and memory, GABA and serotonin, BDNF and neuroplasticity and related biochemical or receptor processes.
Mechanism of action under investigation
Selank can modulate gene expression and neurotransmitter systems including GABA and serotonin.
MAIN AREAS OF RESEARCH
• Stress and anxious behavior: Selank is mainly studied in neurobehavioral models of stress and anxiety, where changes in behavior and neural signaling are observed.
• Memory and learning: Experimental research evaluates the effects of Selank on learning, information retention and the adaptation of neural circuits.
• GABA and Serotonin: Mechanistic work is investigating how Selank affects GABAergic and serotonergic signaling, which are involved in stress and mood regulation.
• Neuroplasticity: Research involves changes in the expression of genes and neurotrophic factors associated with the ability of the nervous system to adapt to stimuli.
Research findings to date
Work to date with SELANK has focused on areas including anxiety and stress, cognition and memory, GABA and serotonin, BDNF and neuroplasticity, and the immune-neural connection.
