SELANK

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide created by coupling the sequence of the endogenous tetrapeptide tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) with a Pro-Gly-Pro stabilizing sequence at the C-terminus. This structural design was conceived to enhance the metabolic stability of the tuftsin core while preserving its biological activity for use in research applications investigating neuropeptide signaling and neuroimmune interactions. Selank has been the subject of extensive investigation in neuropharmacological research, with published studies examining its effects on gene expression profiles in the central nervous system.
