Product Details
Description:
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide with the amino acid sequence Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro. It is a synthetic analogue of the human tetrapeptide tuftsin, an immunomodulatory peptide, to which it has been attached a Pro-Gly-Pro sequence for increased stability.
In a research context, Selank is investigated for its potential neurotropic and immunomodulatory activities. Preclinical *in vitro* studies often explore its influence on the expression of cytokines such as interleukins (e.g., IL-6) and the metabolism of enkephalins in neuronal cell cultures, providing a tool for research into the interplay between the immune and nervous systems.
