Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide that is made up of seven amino acids. It comprises two parts, one is a tripeptide chain (Pro-Gly-Pro) and the other is a short fragment from immunoglobulin (IgG). It is an analog of tuftsin, a naturally occurring tetrapeptide involved in regulating the immune system. Research suggests it might improve memory, alleviate anxiety, reduce pain and boost the body’s natural defense system. It has not been approved by the FDA yet. At Pinnacle Peptides, selank for sale is exclusively available for research and educational institutions.
Selank has been found to mimic the action of benzodiazepines that bind with GABA receptors. One study shows that selank modulates at least 84 genes that are somehow related to the expression of GABA receptors. This results in the increased affinity of these receptors to the GABA neurotransmitter.
Plus, the binding of selank with GABA receptors enhances its inhibitory action without causing side effects associated with benzodiazepines [1]. This, in turn, can result in anxiolytic effects and enhanced cognition. Furthermore, it has also been shown to interact with the immune system and modulate cytokine production.
