Selank 5mg is a synthetic heptapeptide supplied by Echo Peptides for laboratory and in-vitro research use only. It is a stabilized analog of the endogenous immunomodulatory tetrapeptide tuftsin, extended at the C-terminus with a Pro-Gly-Pro motif that reduces enzymatic degradation and prolongs its usable half-life in experimental preparations. This structural feature makes it a convenient reference compound for benchtop work.
In cell-culture, preclinical, and in-vitro models, researchers study Selank as a probe for neuro-regulatory and immunomodulatory signaling. Investigators use it to examine how a tuftsin-derived sequence interacts with pathways implicated in stress-response regulation, neurotrophic factor expression, and crosstalk between the immune and central nervous systems.
Key research areas
- Anxiolytic and stress-response pathways studied in preclinical behavioral models
- Neurotrophic factor modulation, including BDNF expression, in cell-culture systems
- Immune–central nervous system interactions and tuftsin-related immunomodulatory signaling
- Cognitive and behavioral mechanisms explored in in-vitro and preclinical research models
- Peptide stability comparisons versus native tuftsin, using the Pro-Gly-Pro extension as a reference
