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.

For in-vitro research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
