Selank is a synthetic peptide derived from the human immunoglobulin G heavy chain, structurally related to the neuropeptide tuftsin. It has attracted growing interest in research focused on anxiety reduction, cognitive enhancement, and immune modulation.
Studies have shown that Selank modulates the balance of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, producing anxiolytic effects without sedation. It also influences cytokine expression and may enhance learning and memory. It may also play a role in neuroprotection, stress adaptation, and regulation of inflammatory responses in the central nervous system.
