Selank

Selank – Research-Grade Synthetic Regulatory Heptapeptide

Selank is a synthetic linear heptapeptide developed as a stabilized analog of the endogenous immunomodulatory fragment tuftsin. It is composed of seven amino acid residues arranged in a defined sequence that confers structural simplicity and reproducibility in vitro. In laboratory research settings, Selank is utilized as a reference material for studying peptide-based signaling models, neuropeptide-related biochemical interactions, and comparative structure–function relationships among short regulatory peptides.

Due to its linear structure and absence of disulfide bonds or carrier modifications, Selank exhibits physicochemical properties that differ from cyclic peptides and larger protein hormones. This allows researchers to investigate peptide stability, degradation kinetics, and receptor-associated interaction behavior in controlled experimental systems. Its defined amino acid sequence and consistent synthetic profile support use in mechanistic assays, comparative peptide studies, and exploratory biochemical research conducted under controlled laboratory conditions.
