Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) developed as a stabilized analog of the endogenous immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. It is used as a reference compound in neuropeptide and neuroimmunology research.
Selank was designed to resist rapid enzymatic breakdown, giving it a longer research half-life than native tuftsin. Its water solubility and short sequence make it a convenient tool compound for cell-culture and rodent studies.
In laboratory and animal models, Selank has been investigated in the context of anxiolytic signaling pathways, BDNF and monoamine expression, and immune modulation. These observations are limited to laboratory and preclinical research settings and are not statements about outcomes in humans.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store lyophilized material at -20°C. Reconstitution with bacteriostatic or sterile water is common for laboratory handling; keep any reconstituted solution refrigerated and use it within the timeframe appropriate to the researcher’s protocol.
For synthetic research peptides, purity is determined by HPLC and identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry. Independent third-party testing is expanding across the catalog, and each certificate of analysis is published on the product page it covers as results come back. Refer to that certificate for the testing laboratory, the methods run, and the measured values. Endotoxin and sterility testing are not performed unless explicitly stated.
