Neuroactive peptide
Selank
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide formed by the tuftsin fragment extended with the stabilizing Pro-Gly-Pro sequence. In research models, it has been described as acting on neurotransmission pathways associated with monoaminergic systems and neurotrophic factor expression. It has been investigated in models of exploratory behavior in rodent studies.

Shipping termsResearch context & mechanism
In in vitro studies with brain membranes, Selank modified the binding of labeled GABA; the authors interpreted the findings as compatible with allosteric modulation. The assay does not establish an exclusive target for all its experimental responses.

Batch documentation
Review documentation for the product and variant you are purchasing. A reference specification, a research publication and an individual batch certificate are different sources. Certificate results are accessed with your order details; if documentation is available on request, contact support before relying on it.
Consult batch certificates How to read documentationLaboratory handling
- Reconstitution
- Laboratory procedure: allow the closed vial to reach room temperature, disinfect the septum and slowly transfer the diluent against the inner wall of the vial. Do not shake; gently swirl the vial until fully dissolved. Record the volume, diluent and date in the batch log.
- Storage
- Sealed vial of lyophilized material: store at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of reconstituted material; aliquot when the experimental design permits.
- Protective equipment
- Handle in a clean work area with a lab coat, nitrile gloves and eye protection. Dispose of vials, tips and sharps according to the laboratory waste procedure.
