Description
About Selank
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide built from the tuftsin tetrapeptide core with a Pro-Gly-Pro C-terminal extension, supplied as a lyophilised research compound. That extension markedly slows enzymatic degradation relative to native tuftsin, which is why this tuftsin analogue holds up well in extended in-vitro incubations.
Key features of Selank
- Tuftsin-derived heptapeptide (7-amino-acid)
- Sequence: Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (7 amino acids)
- Lyophilised solid — stable, easy to store, straightforward to reconstitute
- Unit size: 10 mg / vial
- Every batch released only after identity, purity, and appearance QC
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and batch documentation available on request

Reconstituting and storing Selank
- Before reconstitution: Store lyophilised vials at 2–8 °C, protected from light and moisture.
- Equilibrate: Allow vial and diluent to reach room temperature before opening.
- Reconstitute: Add Bacteriostatic Water (10 ml recommended). Swirl gently — do not vortex.
- After reconstitution: Store at 2–8 °C. Prepare aliquots to minimise freeze–thaw cycles.
- Compatibility: Use only within protocols that comply with your institution’s SOPs and local regulations.

Selank in research
Researchers use Selank in model systems to examine peptide-mediated signalling relevant to neuronal and immunomodulatory pathways, profile downstream assay readouts, and compare structure-activity relationships against native tuftsin and related short neuropeptides. The Pro-Gly-Pro extension is the specific feature this tuftsin analogue is most often used to interrogate.
Synthesis and quality assurance
Avanti Peptides manufactures Selank via controlled, validated solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to deliver high purity and lot-to-lot consistency. Each batch undergoes identity verification, HPLC purity analysis (≥99%), and appearance inspection before release.
