Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide structurally related to the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. In laboratory research it is used to investigate enkephalin-degrading enzyme (enkephalinase) inhibition, BDNF gene expression, and cytokine signaling in cultured neuronal and immune cell models. Supplied lyophilized; identity and purity verified by HPLC and mass spectrometry.
