Description

  • About Selank (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro / anxiolytic nootropic heptapeptide)

    Selank — Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (TP-7, CAS 129954-34-3) — is a synthetic 7-amino acid heptapeptide developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences as a stable analog of the endogenous immunopeptide tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg). Tuftsin is a fragment of IgG that regulates phagocyte activity; Selank extends this sequence with Pro-Gly-Pro to enhance CNS stability and GABAergic activity.

    It has been studied for effects on GABA-A receptor modulation, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, and enkephalin metabolism. Selank is resistant to rapid proteolytic degradation compared to tuftsin, making it a more stable pharmacological tool for neuropeptide signaling research. Supplied as lyophilized heptapeptide for non-clinical research use only.

    COMMON RESEARCH APPLICATIONS

    GABAergic Signaling Research
    Selank has been studied for potentiation of GABA-A receptor activity in cortical neuron cultures. Used in patch-clamp electrophysiology and GABA-A ligand binding assays to characterize benzodiazepine-independent anxiolytic signaling pathways.

    BDNF Expression Studies
    Modulates BDNF and NGF expression in cortical and hippocampal cell models. Used in qPCR and ELISA studies examining neurotrophin upregulation in stress-challenge paradigms alongside established BDNF modulators for pathway comparison.

    Enkephalin Metabolism & Neuropeptide Stability
    Selank inhibits enkephalin-degrading enzymes (neprilysin, aminopeptidase N), prolonging endogenous opioid peptide half-life. Used in enzymatic stability assays and peptide degradation kinetics studies in brain homogenate matrices.

    Immune-Neural Crosstalk (Neuroimmunology)
    As a tuftsin analog, studied for IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ modulation in macrophage and T-cell models; used to examine the intersection of innate immune signaling and neuropeptide activity in co-culture systems.
