Selank (Elank) is a synthetic heptapeptide modeled after tuftsin, an endogenous immunomodulatory peptide. It is frequently used in research investigating central nervous system signaling, neurotransmitter pathways, and interactions between neuropeptides and immune regulation.

Selank’s structure and pathway interactions make it a tool for studying mechanisms related to serotonergic signaling, GABAergic modulation, peptide-based immunomodulation, and neurotrophic pathway activity.

Mechanisms of Action
(Based on published scientific literature — not effects of this product.)

• Neurotransmitter Pathway Interaction:
Selank has been studied for its ability to influence serotonergic and GABAergic systems, providing a model for exploring neurochemical balance and CNS signaling.
• Neuropeptide Modulation:
Research indicates involvement in pathways associated with learning, memory, and cognitive processing through interaction with neurotrophic systems.
• Stress-Response Pathways:
Literature suggests Selank may influence CNS responses related to stress signaling, neuronal excitability, and oxidative stress models.
• Immunomodulatory Effects:
Tuftsin-derived peptides, including Selank, have been studied for their ability to modulate adaptive immune pathways and inflammatory responses.
