Product Description
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (seven amino acids long) that is structurally related to the endogenous human peptide tuftsin. Developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Selank is a peptide analogue studied primarily for its potential neuroregulatory properties. It is known in research settings for its stability and effectiveness in experimental models investigating cognitive function and anxiety behaviors.
Scientific Research Applications
Selank is a key compound in neuroscience research, offering insights into neurobiology and cognitive health within laboratory models. Studies have explored its interactions with the GABAergic system and its influence on neurotransmitter levels.
Key research areas include:
- Anxiolytic Properties: Research in animal models investigates Selank's potential to reduce anxiety and stress-related behaviors without producing the sedative side effects often associated with traditional anxiolytics.
- Cognitive Function Studies: Experimental studies have explored Selank's impact on learning and memory processes, suggesting potential nootropic effects in animal subjects.
- Immunomodulation: Some research indicates a potential role for Selank in modulating immune responses, a unique aspect of its investigation alongside its neurotropic effects.
- Neurogenesis Research: Scientists study how Selank might influence brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and neurogenesis in experimental cell cultures.
