Mechanisms Being Explored in Selank Research
Research Context Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide, meaning it is a chain of seven amino acids assembled in a laboratory setting. Its structural origin is tuftsin, an endogenous tetrapeptide with known immunomodulatory properties, carrying the sequence Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg. Selank extends this base sequence by appending Pro-Gly-Pro to the C-terminal end, a modification that appears to influence…
