Selank: Tuftsin-Derived Neuroactive Peptide Research
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the tuftsin peptide sequence. It was developed as a neuroactive peptide and has been studied in preclinical models for its interactions with the central nervous system and immune-modulating pathways.
Mechanisms of Action
Selank has been investigated in preclinical models for its effects on anxiety-related behavioral endpoints and neurochemical signaling. Research has examined its influence on GABAergic and serotonergic systems, as well as its modulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) expression. Studies have also explored its effects on immune cell activity and inflammatory cytokine modulation, given its tuftsin origin.
