Research background.

Chemical identity, proposed mechanism and published preclinical literature, for laboratory reference.

Mechanism of action

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide constructed from the endogenous tetrapeptide tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) extended with a Pro-Gly-Pro sequence that markedly increases enzymatic stability. Published preclinical work has examined its effects on GABAergic transmission, monoamine turnover in limbic structures, BDNF expression in the hippocampus, and enkephalin-degrading enzyme activity.

Research observations

  • GABA-A receptor subunit expression examined in rodent limbic tissue
  • Serotonin and dopamine turnover examined in preclinical models
  • Hippocampal BDNF expression examined in animal studies
  • Enkephalin-degrading enzyme inhibition reported in vitro
  • C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension confers resistance to peptidase degradation

Frequently asked questions.

What is Selank?

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide, Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro, built from the tuftsin tetrapeptide with a Pro-Gly-Pro extension that increases enzymatic stability. Published preclinical work has examined GABAergic transmission, monoamine turnover and BDNF expression in rodent models.

Where can I buy Selank for research?

Excalibur Peptides sells Selank on this page as a 10mg vial of lyophilized powder, for in-vitro laboratory research only. Orders ship from Austin, Texas, to addresses within the United States, and the product's third-party Certificate of Analysis is published in our COA database. Buyers must be 21 or older and confirm research-use-only status at checkout.

How is Selank tested, and where is its COA?

Selank is third-party tested by Freedom Diagnostics Testing: purity by HPLC and identity by LC-MS. The Certificate of Analysis is published in our COA database, and the report can be looked up on the lab's own site with search code Exca2608030567.

How should Selank be stored in the lab?

Keep lyophilized Selank sealed at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture, as listed on this page. Let the vial reach room temperature before opening so moisture does not condense on the powder, and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

How fast does Selank ship?

Selank ships from Austin, Texas. Orders placed before 2 PM EST on a business day ship the same day, and delivery within the United States typically takes 2–4 business days. A tracking number is emailed when the order ships.

What payment methods can I use to buy Selank?
