Peptide record

Selank

Mechanism

Synthetic heptapeptide Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro combining a tuftsin fragment with a Pro-Gly-Pro motif, reported to modulate GABAergic neurotransmission and cytokine balance while being resistant to proteolytic degradation.39

Function

Developed in Russia as an anxiolytic and nootropic peptide; in animal models it reduces anxiety-like behavior and modulates immune parameters under stress.39
