Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of the endogenous tetrapeptide tuftsin. Supplied as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.
Mechanism of Action
Reported in published in-vitro and animal-model studies to interact with the GABAergic system and to modulate BDNF transcription in cell-line assays. Not intended for human or veterinary use.
