Selank Peptide
Selank is a short, synthetic heptapeptide composed of seven amino acids. Selank was developed with the intention of mimicking the naturally occurring peptide, Tuftsin , a natural tetrapeptide involved in some biological functions that regulate the immune system. After the discovery and initial isolation of Tuftsin, researchers suggested that the peptide may be involved in several functions of phagocytic cells, including phagocytosis, motility, and immunological cell functions . Since then, several synthetic analogs of Tuftsin have been synthesized in the laboratory by two methods, namely conventional and polymeric reagent methods.
