Tuftsin Analog Heptapeptide
Selank
Selank (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the endogenous immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. Developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it has been studied for anxiolytic properties, BDNF upregulation, serotonin and dopamine modulation, and GABAergic pathway effects in preclinical models. It is used as a research tool in anxiety, cognitive function, and neurological studies.
