Description
Research Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the endogenous immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. It is widely studied in laboratory research for its interactions with neuropeptide signaling, central nervous system function, neurotransmitter regulation, immune modulation, and neuroendocrine physiology. Selank serves as a valuable research tool for investigating communication between the nervous and immune systems.
Selank is an investigational research peptide and has not been approved for therapeutic use in humans. This material is supplied by Marsden Research Labs exclusively for qualified laboratory research applications and is not offered for human or veterinary use.

Mechanism of Action
Selank has been investigated for its interactions with multiple neurochemical systems, including gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), serotonin, dopamine, and endogenous neuropeptide pathways. Laboratory studies have also examined its influence on cytokine regulation, immune signaling, neuroplasticity, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression. While its precise molecular mechanisms remain under investigation, Selank is considered an important tool for studying neuroimmune communication and peptide-mediated signaling.
Because of its biological activity, Selank is frequently investigated in neuropeptide biology, central nervous system signaling, neurotransmitter regulation, neuroimmune interactions, and peptide pharmacology.
