Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin, originally developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This research-grade nootropic peptide is extensively studied for its unique mechanisms involving GABA neurotransmitter systems, anxiolytic properties, and cognitive enhancement pathways.

Research Applications & Scientific Interest:

🧠 GABA System Modulation:

• Affects 52 genes related to GABA signaling pathways

• Modulates GABA receptor affinity without habit-forming properties

• Similar anxiolytic effects to benzodiazepines without withdrawal symptoms

• Potential synergistic effects with other GABA receptor agonists

🔬 Cognitive & Memory Research:

• Enhances memory trace stability and storage processes

• Affects 36 genes in hippocampus related to learning and memory

• Modulates plasma membrane proteins involved in ion-dependent cognitive processes

• Potential neuroprotective effects following brain injury

🩺 Immune System & Inflammation Studies:

• Regulates expression of 34 genes involved in inflammatory processes

• Selectively suppresses IL-6 production in depression models

• Modulates BcI6 gene expression affecting immune system development

• Research applications in anxiety-asthenic disorder studies

💊 Enkephalin System Research:

• Inhibits enkephalinase activity, protecting natural anxiolytic peptides

• Potential pain research applications through opioid receptor pathways

• Stress response modulation studies

• Natural pain relief mechanism investigations

Published Research Highlights:
