Selank: a research overview
Selank is a synthetic peptide frequently discussed alongside Semax in cognitive research. This overview covers its structure and handling for an in-vitro research audience, with no therapeutic or dosing claims.
What it is
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin, a naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide, with modifications that improve its stability. It is supplied lyophilised.
Why it is studied
Selank appears in preclinical and in-vitro literature as a research tool. As always, the findings live in the studies — this page makes no claim about human effects.
Handling notes
- Reconstitute gently; never shake or vortex.
- Keep the dry solid sealed, cold and dark.
- Refrigerate after reconstitution and aliquot to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
