Sign in to rate this peptide.
Selank is a heptapeptide derived from tuftsin that modulates the balance of monoamines and increases expression of BDNF in the hippocampus. It influences GABAergic and serotonergic signaling, producing anxiolytic effects without sedation, and stabilizes enkephalins by inhibiting their breakdown. It also has documented immunomodulatory activity, reflecting its tuftsin origin.
