Research Information
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide, a stabilised analogue of the immune peptide tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) with a Pro-Gly-Pro tail. It's studied for its role in neuropeptide research, particularly the GABAergic and serotonergic pathways. Researchers are interested in how short peptides modulate anxiety-related neurotransmitter systems in cell-culture and animal-model studies. Most published work has examined its effects on enkephalin and BDNF expression in neural cell lines.
Research areas
- GABAergic pathway cell-model studies
- Enkephalin expression research
- Serotonergic signalling studies
- Stabilised peptide design comparison
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. HelixCore products are batch tested for identity and purity as standard.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Batch tested
Every batch is tested for identity and purity (98%+) before it reaches our UK stock.
