Selank

About Selank

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide used in research studying anxiolytic effects, cognitive enhancement, and neurotransmitter regulation.

This research peptide is supplied as a lyophilized powder that requires reconstitution before use in laboratory applications. It is provided at research-grade purity for in-vitro studies only.

Research Applications: Selank is used exclusively for laboratory research purposes. It is not intended for human consumption, medical treatment, or any form of in-vivo application.

Storage: Store lyophilized powder at -20°C. After reconstitution, store at 2-8°C and use within the timeframe specified by the manufacturer.

Detailed Research Information

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide based on the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, extensively studied in neuroscience and anxiety research. As a research compound, Selank is investigated for its anxiolytic properties, cognitive enhancement effects, and neuroprotective mechanisms.

Key Research Applications

Anxiety Research: Selank is utilized in studies examining GABAergic system modulation, investigating anxiolytic mechanisms that do not involve benzodiazepine receptor pathways in laboratory behavioral models.

Cognitive Function Studies: Research applications include investigation of memory formation mechanisms, attention regulation pathways, and learning enhancement in various cognitive testing paradigms.

Neuroprotection Research: Selank is employed in studies exploring brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, examining neuroplasticity mechanisms and neuroprotective signaling cascades.

Neurochemistry Studies: Research utilizes Selank to investigate monoamine metabolism, examining effects on serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine systems in central nervous system models.

Mechanism of Action

Selank functions through multiple neurochemical mechanisms including modulation of enkephalin and monoamine metabolism in brain regions associated with emotional processing. Research demonstrates that Selank influences the expression of genes related to immune system function and neurotransmitter synthesis, increases BDNF levels in the hippocampus, and modulates the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission. The peptide shows anxiolytic effects without sedation or cognitive impairment.
