Selank(SELANK)
Research peptide commonly explored in laboratory settings for stress-response and neurobehavioral pathways.
Mechanism of action
Selank is a synthetic analog of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. Published animal-model literature describes anxiolytic-like effects and modulation of GABAergic and enkephalin systems, with research interest in stress response and neuroimmune signaling.
Selank is a stabilized lab-made version of tuftsin, a tiny natural peptide your immune system makes. In animal studies it behaves like a mild calming agent and appears to interact with GABA — the brain's main 'slow down' chemical.
Research areas
- · How animals respond to stress in lab tests
- · How the brain's calming pathways work
- · How the immune system and brain talk to each other
History & discovery
Also developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Moscow in the 1990s as a longer-acting analog of natural tuftsin.
