Selank 10mg – Premium Research Grade
Synthetic Tuftsin Analog | Nootropic Neuropeptide Research Compound | ≥99% Purity | HPLC-Tested | Lyophilized Powder
Product Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of tuftsin — a naturally occurring immunomodulatory tetrapeptide — developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This 10mg research-grade formulation provides laboratories with a high-purity, HPLC-verified compound for investigating GABAergic signalling, neurochemical modulation, cognitive pathway research, and stress-response mechanisms in the central nervous system.
Selank’s design extends tuftsin’s tetrapeptide sequence (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) with an additional tripeptide stabilising sequence (Pro-Gly-Pro), significantly increasing its stability and CNS activity compared to native tuftsin. This engineered stability makes Selank a practical and reliable research tool for sustained neuroregulatory studies, particularly those focused on anxiety-related signalling pathways and cognitive modulation mechanisms.
What is Selank and Why is it Researched?
Selank sits at the intersection of immunology and neuroscience research. Derived from tuftsin — a peptide fragment of immunoglobulin G with known immunomodulatory properties — Selank retains and extends tuftsin’s biological activity while adding significant neurochemical effects of its own.
Research interest in Selank centres on its interactions with the GABAergic system, its influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, and its modulatory effects on serotonin and dopamine metabolism. Its dual immunomodulatory and neuroregulatory profile makes it a uniquely versatile compound for researchers studying CNS signalling, stress-response pathways, and cognitive function mechanisms.
Mechanism of Action
Selank exerts its research-relevant biological activity through several interconnected neurochemical pathways:
GABAergic System Modulation — Selank has been studied for its interaction with GABA-A receptors and GABAergic signalling pathways. Research suggests it may modulate GABAergic tone without direct receptor binding, making it a valuable tool for studying indirect GABAergic modulation mechanisms distinct from classical benzodiazepine-type interactions.
BDNF Expression Research — Studies have investigated Selank’s influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in CNS tissue models. BDNF plays a critical role in neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive function — making Selank relevant for researchers studying neurotrophic signalling pathways.
Monoamine Metabolism — Selank has been studied for its effects on serotonin and dopamine metabolic pathways in CNS research models, offering investigators a tool for probing how neuropeptides influence monoamine neurotransmitter systems.
Immune-Neuro Crosstalk — As a tuftsin analog, Selank retains immunomodulatory properties alongside its neurochemical activity. This dual profile makes it a useful compound for researchers studying the interface between immune signalling and CNS function — an increasingly active area of neuroimmunology research.

Frequently Asked Questions — Selank 10mg
What is Selank used for in research?
Selank is used in laboratory research to investigate GABAergic signalling, BDNF expression, monoamine neurotransmitter metabolism, stress-response pathway modulation, and neuroimmunological crosstalk. It is a versatile neuropeptide compound suited for cognitive neuroscience, psychopharmacology, and neuroimmunology research.
How does Selank relate to tuftsin?
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of tuftsin, a naturally occurring immunomodulatory tetrapeptide. Selank extends tuftsin’s four-amino acid sequence with a stabilising tripeptide tail (Pro-Gly-Pro), significantly improving stability and CNS activity while retaining tuftsin’s immunomodulatory properties.
How does Selank differ from Semax?
Both Selank and Semax are synthetic neuropeptides developed for CNS research, but they have distinct mechanisms. Semax is an ACTH analog primarily studied for its BDNF and NGF expression effects, while Selank is a tuftsin analog with a stronger focus on GABAergic modulation and immune-neuro crosstalk. Researchers often use both comparatively in cognitive signalling studies.
What does the 10mg quantity refer to?
Each vial contains 10mg of lyophilized Selank peptide — a standard research quantity designed to support multiple experimental runs within a single laboratory supply.
What purity level is your Selank?
Every batch is HPLC-tested to ≥99% purity. Certificates of Analysis are available on request for all orders.
How should Selank be stored?
Store at -20°C for long-term use or at 4°C for short-term use within 4–6 weeks. Keep away from light and moisture and store in a sealed vial until reconstitution.
