Selank

Synthetic heptapeptide (tuftsin analog)

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide based on the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. In the scientific literature it appears in neurological research, where scientific attention has been directed at peptide interactions in laboratory and model systems. This page is neutral background about the molecule as a research material and is not medical guidance, nor is it for human or veterinary use.

Classification and structure

Selank is classified as a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin, with an added Pro-Gly-Pro terminal sequence intended to improve stability in laboratory settings. Its structure comprises seven linked amino-acid residues. It is supplied and handled solely as a research chemical.

Areas of research

In the published literature, Selank appears in the following research areas.

• Neurological research — Studied in models examining neuropeptide and neurotransmitter-related signaling.
• Peptide immunology — Investigated for its origin in the tuftsin sequence within immunomodulatory peptide research.

As always in this library, describing a compound as “studied in” an area is a statement about where scientific attention has gone — not a claim that it produces any result in humans or animals.

Handling and verification

Store lyophilized material cold and protected from light and moisture; reconstituted material has reduced stability. Every in-stock lot ships with a verifiable third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA).
