Selank

Specification

Mechanism of action

Selank is a synthetic tuftsin analogue and, as a heptapeptide, belongs to the well characterised reference peptides used in laboratory research. The literature describes it in neurobiological cell culture and binding models that examine signalling pathways and receptor interactions at the cellular level. Its seven amino acids, Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro, form a defined structure that can be applied reproducibly across comparable experimental series. Research work also considers the stability of the peptide in aqueous buffer systems and its behaviour in the presence of cell membrane fractions. As a clearly specified substance, Selank serves as a reference point for controls and comparative approaches in controlled in vitro setups. Researchers who buy Selank use this 10-vial kit as a defined reference for in-vitro work.

Reconstitution and handling

The lyophilizate is reconstituted in the laboratory immediately before use with a suitable sterile solvent. The resulting solution is processed promptly and protected from direct light throughout handling. Volume and concentration figures follow the experimental design of the performing institution; this data sheet makes no specifications in that regard. A clean working environment, calibrated pipettes and consumption within a single experimental series support the reproducibility of results. Between steps, the vessel is kept closed to limit evaporation and dust ingress.

In-vitro research

Selank is used in in vitro research as a reference substance for neurobiological models. Typical applications are cell culture and receptor binding assays, studies of signal transduction, and experimental series that record peptide receptor interactions and cellular responses. Its defined purity and batch specific testing make the heptapeptide a reproducible reference point for comparison series and positive controls in controlled experimental setups.

Quality and analytics

Every batch is tested for purity by HPLC and reaches at least ≥99 %. An additional identity check confirms the heptapeptide sequence. Testing is performed per batch and applies uniformly to all vials in a box; the results are recorded for the respective batch. Deviations from the defined specification values would be documented and reviewed before a batch is released.

Available amounts per vial: 5 mg, 10 mg. Box of 10 vials.
