Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is a derivative of the naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg), with an additional Pro-Gly-Pro sequence that enhances stability and adds unique biological properties. - Molecular Weight: 751 Da - Amino Acid Sequence: Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (TKPRPGP) - Structural Basis: Tuftsin analog with C-terminal extension - Solubility: Water-soluble - Stability: Enhanced compared to native tuftsin due to Pro-Gly-Pro addition Selank exhibits a multi-faceted mechanism involving several neurotransmitter systems: - GABA-A Modulation: Allosteric modulation of GABA receptors - Benzodiazepine Site Interaction: May act at benzodiazepine binding sites - Distinct from BZD: Does not produce sedation or dependence p
