Selank — molecular reference
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the immunomodulatory tetrapeptide tuftsin, extended with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro motif for enzymatic stability. Research groups use it in cultured neurons and immune-cell co-cultures to study GABAergic-tone modulation, enkephalinase activity, and cytokine expression profiles. Supplied as a sterile lyophilized powder. Research use only.
