Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) developed as a metabolically stable analog of tuftsin, a naturally occurring immunomodulatory tetrapeptide found in human immunoglobulin G. It was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the same research lineage that produced Semax, though the two peptides are studied for distinct primary effects.
Selank's research profile centers on modulation of the GABAergic neurotransmitter system, alongside reported effects on monoaminergic signaling and enkephalin metabolism. It has also been shown in preclinical models to elevate brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the hippocampus, a mechanism shared conceptually with Semax despite the two peptides' different structural origins and receptor-level effects. Because of its tuftsin lineage, Selank retains secondary immunomodulatory properties not found in purely neurological peptides.
