What is Selank?
Selank is a high-purity synthetic heptapeptide, a structural analogue of the endogenous peptide tuftsin, designed exclusively for laboratory research. This peptide, with the sequence Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro, is utilized to investigate anxiolytic, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective mechanisms. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution, Selank provides researchers with a precise tool to study its effects on stress response, cognitive function, and inflammation in experimental models.

Research Applications:
Selank is extensively studied in preclinical research for its potential to modulate stress-induced pathways, enhance immune function, and support tissue repair in cellular and animal models. Investigations focus on its ability to regulate serotonin and enkephalin levels, which may reduce stress-related overeating, supporting weight management studies. Research also explores its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, which could aid muscle recovery by mitigating exercise-induced oxidative stress and inflammation. Its role in improving metabolic health and reducing anxiety-related metabolic disturbances makes Selank a key compound for research into overall health optimization and recovery.
