About Selank

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog derived from the naturally occurring peptide tuftsin. It has been widely utilized in neuroscience and behavioral research for its potential effects on neurotransmitter modulation, stress response, and cognitive processes. Studies have shown that Selank interacts with GABAergic and monoaminergic systems, influencing the balance of serotonin and dopamine pathways. It is also being explored for its neuroprotective and anxiolytic-like properties, making it a valuable research tool in neurochemistry, psychopharmacology, and peptide-based signaling studies.

Mechanism of Action

The mechanism involves Selank acting as a modulator of the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) neurotransmitter system by increasing the binding affinity of GABA to its receptors.

Additionally, Selank influences the monoaminergic system by stabilizing the levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain during stress. Research assays focus on its ability to prevent the degradation of enkephalins (natural opioids) in the blood, which further supports its neuroprotective and stress-balancing roles in experimental models.
