Selank 5mg – Ultra-Pure Heptapeptide for Advanced Research
Selank (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro), also known as Selanc or TP-7, is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of the endogenous immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. It has been widely investigated for its roles in neuromodulation, immune regulation, and stress-response signalling in preclinical research models.
Originally developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Selank has been examined in numerous peer-reviewed studies exploring GABAergic pathways, monoamine neurotransmitter balance, BDNF expression, and cytokine-mediated immune responses in animal and in vitro systems.

Scientific Insight & Synergistic Research
-
Neuroplasticity & BDNF Pathways
Preclinical data indicate that Selank can increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the rat hippocampus following intranasal administration, suggesting involvement in synaptic plasticity and adaptive neural responses to stress. -
Gene Regulation, Monoamines & Immune Signalling
Experimental studies report that Selank modulates expression of genes linked to GABAergic neurotransmission and related signalling pathways, and can influence concentrations of monoamine neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline) in a strain-dependent manner in rodent brain tissue.
As a tuftsin analogue, Selank also demonstrates immunomodulatory activity, including effects on IL-6 and T-helper cell cytokine balance, aligning with its classification as a neuro-immunomodulatory peptide in research.

GABAergic Modulation & Synergistic Investigations
Clinical and preclinical work from Russian groups describes an anxiolytic-like profile for Selank comparable to low-dose benzodiazepines, but without the sedation or dependence seen with those drugs within the scope of those studies.
Mechanistic findings suggest Selank can affect GABA_A receptor–related processes and inhibit certain enkephalin-degrading enzymes, a feature shared with the related peptide Semax.
In combined-pathway research, Selank is often evaluated alongside regulatory peptides such as Semax to characterise potential synergistic effects on GABAergic signalling, cognitive resilience, and stress-adaptation pathways in laboratory models.
Published literature supports continued investigation of Selank within research programmes focused on neuro-immunomodulation, stress-responsive signalling, and adaptive peptide pathways in preclinical systems.
