Selank | Semax
The Selank/Semax Combo is a research formulation combining two well-studied neuroactive peptides—Selank and Semax. This combination is used in laboratory settings to explore interactions between neurotransmitter pathways, peptide signaling, stress-response mechanisms, and neuroplasticity-related pathways.
Peptide Components
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide modeled after tuftsin, an endogenous immunomodulatory molecule. Research commonly examines its influence on:
- Serotonergic & GABAergic signaling
- Neuropeptidergic modulation
- CNS stress-response pathways
- Immune-CNS interactions
- Neurotrophic pathway activity
Semax is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) sequences (without steroidogenic activity). It is frequently studied for its involvement in:
- Dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation
- Neurotrophic factors, including BDNF-related pathways
- Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience models
- Adaptive responses to environmental and stress stimuli
Together, these peptides allow researchers to explore complementary and synergistic mechanisms involving neurotransmission, neuroplasticity, and CNS regulation.
