Description
Selank
Product Overview
Selank is a synthetic peptide derived from the naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. It is widely studied in neuroscience and neuropharmacology research for its potential effects on stress response, cognitive function, neuroprotection, and neurotransmitter regulation. Researchers investigate Selank in laboratory models involving anxiety-related behavior, learning, memory, immune modulation, and central nervous system function. Selank is intended for laboratory and scientific research purposes only.
