An introduction to Selank, a synthetic tuftsin analog reference material studied in neuropeptide research.
What it is
Selank is a synthetic analog of the peptide tuftsin, supplied strictly as a research-use-only reference material. It is catalogued under the neuropeptide category and identified analytically by CAS number 129954-34-3 and a molecular weight near 751.9 g/mol with a purity specification of not less than 98% by HPLC.
Relationship to tuftsin
Selank is structurally based on tuftsin, a short naturally occurring peptide, extended to improve stability for research use. This relationship places Selank within the tuftsin-analog family and informs the kinds of biological pathways researchers examine when they study the molecule.
Why it is studied
In neuropeptide research, Selank appears in studies addressing GABAergic and serotonergic signaling, cytokine modulation, and enkephalinase-related activity. As a reference supplier we summarize these research areas in an in-vitro and pre-clinical frame without any applied or efficacy claim.
Collection scope
The articles here cover the peptide chemistry and stability, the neuropeptide mechanisms studied in research, the analytical methods for identity and purity, and a literature roundup with search-based sources, all kept within a laboratory reference-material context.
Every Selank order includes the sealed, lot-controlled vial, a measured ampoule of bacteriostatic water, and a printed handling & reconstitution card — everything to prepare the reference standard, in one box. Most suppliers ship the vial alone.
