Description
Selank is a high-stability synthetic analog of the naturally occurring human tetrapeptide tuftsin ($Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg$). In laboratory research, it is investigated as a potent neuro-modulatory agent capable of influencing cognitive processes and the central nervous system’s response to environmental stressors. Unlike its precursor, Selank’s heptapeptide structure is designed for enhanced metabolic stability in in vitro research models.
Research Focus:
-
GABAergic System Modulation: Investigating the peptide’s ability to influence $GABA_A$ receptor activity and maintain neurochemical balance.
-
Neurotrophic Factor Expression: Studying the upregulation of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and its impact on neuronal survival and plasticity.
-
Neuroimmune Signaling: Evaluation of its role as an immunomodulator, specifically how it influences cytokine levels in response to stress.
-
Cognitive & Memory Pathways: Researching the peptide’s effects on neurotransmitter systems (serotonin and dopamine) related to learning and memory retention.
