Selank Synthetic Heptapeptide (TKPRPGP)
Selank is a synthetic peptide made up of 7 amino acids, based on a fragment of tuftsin — a small protein naturally involved in immune function. In rodent studies, researchers have observed calmer animal behaviour without the sedation (drowsiness) typically seen with classical anxiety-reducing compounds, making it a distinctive tool for studying stress and anxiety pathways in the brain.

Research overview
Selank is a synthetic 7-amino-acid peptide — a short chain of amino acids made in a laboratory — based on a fragment of tuftsin, a naturally occurring protein involved in immune function. In rodent studies, researchers have documented calmer behaviour in treated animals without the sedation (drowsiness or reduced activity) typically associated with classical anxiolytic compounds (substances studied for their effects on anxiety). This profile makes Selank a distinctive research tool for studying stress and anxiety pathways. Studies have also examined its effects on BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor — a protein that supports brain cell survival, growth, and connectivity) levels in neuronal tissue, alongside its interactions with the GABAergic system (the brain's main calming signalling network) and serotonergic pathways (the brain's serotonin signalling system).
