Selank is a reference synthetic heptapeptide derived from the endogenous immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) supplemented with a Pro-Gly-Pro sequence for increased stability. In academic literature, Selank is often cited in Russian peptide studies in the field of neurochemistry.
Investigated Biochemical Pathways (Academic Context)
-
Modulation of GABAergic signaling: in-vitro binding assays on GABA-A receptors and monitoring of ion currents in isolated neuronal cultures.
-
BDNF expression: in-vitro and animal models monitoring brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in isolated hippocampal and cortical cultures.
-
Monoaminergic regulation: academic interest in the effect on serotonergic, dopaminergic, and noradrenergic signaling pathways in CNS cell models.
-
Immunomodulation: as a tuftsin derivative, subject of in-vitro studies of cytokine production in isolated immune cells.
-
Gene expression microarray studies: academic characterization of transcriptome changes in experimental models.
Laboratory Use and Storage
Suitable as a reference standard for HPLC, MS, and in-vitro neuronal assays. In laboratory practice, lyophilized peptides are handled using appropriate sterile media. A compatible solvent intended exclusively for research purposes can be found in our offer as Bacteriostatic Water - 10 ml. Store the lyophilized product at -20 °C, protected from light.
