Selank (TP-7)
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the immunomodulatory tetrapeptide tuftsin, extended with a Pro-Gly-Pro sequence that substantially increases stability against peptidase degradation. Research has examined its effects on BDNF expression in the hippocampus, monoamine turnover, and enkephalin degradation. The literature originates largely from Russian institutional research and much of the primary work requires translation.
Research applications
- BDNF and neurotrophic factor expression studies
- GABAergic and serotonergic system interaction assays
- Enkephalin degradation and peptidase inhibition research
- Anxiety-related behavioral models in rodents
Storage
Store lyophilized powder at -20°C protected from light. Reconstituted solution stable at 2-8°C for up to 30 days.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed down the vial wall. Swirl gently.
