Overview
Selank is a synthetic analog of tuftsin, a naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide fragment. It is widely utilized in in vitro and laboratory‑based research involving neurochemical signaling, stress‑response pathways, and immune‑modulation mechanisms. Selank is of particular interest for studies examining peptide‑based regulation of neurotransmitter activity and cytokine expression.
