Adults in the Zozulya 2008 Russian clinical study record.

Selank
A synthetic heptapeptide studied in anxiety-related behaviour, BDNF, immune-marker, and GABA/serotonin research. Supplied for laboratory research only.
Your immune system makes a small peptide called tuftsin. It falls apart within minutes, which makes it nearly impossible to study. Selank is a Russian-designed copy, built to last long enough to work with. Supplied freeze-dried, for laboratory research only.

Research use onlyWhy this molecule is studied
Why researchers are studying it.
Researchers got interested in Selank because it is a durable copy of something your own immune system already makes. Now the honest bit: most of that research is animal and laboratory work, plus clinical studies carried out in Russia, where Selank is prescribed and sold. It has never been assessed by the TGA in Australia or the FDA in the United States, and it has no EU marketing authorisation. The main human record here is a 2008 Russian study of 62 adults.
That thing your immune system makes is called tuftsin - a four-amino-acid peptide that breaks down almost as fast as it appears. Selank keeps tuftsin's four-piece core and adds a three-piece tail, which makes the molecule durable enough for researchers to actually work with. That is the whole design.
What the studies look at is mostly anxiety-related behaviour in animals, alongside things they can measure directly: BDNF, a growth signal for nerve cells, and the GABA and serotonin systems - two of the brain's main chemical messengers.
This page is about that research and the batch you are getting. The measurements described are laboratory and animal study endpoints, not effects in a person, and this is not for people or animals to take. Registry details (TP-7, CAS 129954-34-3) are in the FAQ below.

What it was copied from, and what the studies measure alongside it. These are animal and laboratory measurements - study endpoints, not effects claimed for this vial.
A copy of tuftsin, built to last
Tuftsin is a four-amino-acid peptide your immune system makes, and it falls apart within minutes. Selank keeps that same four-piece core - written TKPR - and adds a three-piece tail, Pro-Gly-Pro, that makes it much harder to pull apart. That durability is the entire point of the design: it is what let anyone study the sequence at all.
What BDNF is
A growth signal for nerve cells - it helps them survive, grow, and wire up new connections. Studies measure whether BDNF shifts after Selank because it is something a researcher can read directly rather than infer.
GABA and serotonin
Two of the brain's main chemical messengers. GABA is the quieting one: it dials nerve signalling down. Serotonin is involved in mood and sleep. Papers report Selank alongside measurements of both, which is why it appears in anxiety-related behaviour research.

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide with the sequence TKPRPGP, developed in Russia at the Institute of Molecular Genetics as an analog of the natural peptide tuftsin. It is studied in published research for anxiety-related behaviour and immune-marker systems, mostly in animal studies plus some Russian clinical research. Form Laboratories supplies Selank strictly as research-use-only reference material, not for human or veterinary use.
Selank's sequence is TKPRPGP, written in full as Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro. The first four amino acids match tuftsin TKPR, and a Pro-Gly-Pro tail is added. It is also indexed as TP-7; CAS 129954-34-3, molecular formula C33H57N11O9, molecular weight about 751.9 g/mol.
Selank is developed and used in Russia as an anxiolytic and sold in Russian pharmacies, but not approved by the TGA (Australia) or the FDA (US), and no marketing authorisation in the EU. Form Laboratories supplies it only as research-use-only reference material, not as a medicine and not for human or veterinary use.
Selank is studied in research for anxiety-related behaviour, BDNF, immune and cytokine markers, and GABA and serotonin systems. The published record is mostly animal and laboratory work, with some Russian clinical research.
Selank is often described in popular writing as an anxiolytic or nootropic, but those labels refer to how it is discussed, not to anything Form Labs is claiming. In the published research it is studied for its role in anxiety-related behaviour and immune-marker experiments. Form Labs supplies Selank strictly as research-use-only reference material, and nothing on this page is a claim about anxiety or mood effects in people.
Selank and Semax are two different synthetic peptides. Selank is the sequence TKPRPGP, an analog of the peptide tuftsin, and is studied more in anxiety- and immune-marker research; Semax is the sequence MEHFPGP, an analog of a fragment of the hormone ACTH, and is studied mostly in neuroprotection and cognition research. Form Labs supplies both only as research-use-only reference material.
Selank is a tuftsin analog, meaning its first four amino acids match the tuftsin sequence TKPR. Published studies also discuss BDNF, a nerve-growth marker, and immune or cytokine markers such as IL-6 and interferon. Those are laboratory measurements and study endpoints.
Selank is supplied in Australia strictly as research-use-only reference material - laboratory material for in-vitro research, not a medicine, supplement, or food, and not for people or animals to take. It is sold to research and educational buyers aged 21 or over, and it is not approved by the TGA for human use. This page is product and research context, not legal or scheduling advice.
Research use only means Selank is supplied as laboratory reference material for research settings. The studies named on this page were not run by Form Labs, and they do not provide preparation, consumption, dosing, or treatment directions. Selank from Form Labs is not for human or veterinary use.
Selank is supplied freeze-dried and should be stored at 2-8 C, protected from light, with lot SELANK-2506 matched to the COA in the account. Orders ship within Australia only from Perth via Australia Post, with flat-rate shipping and free standard shipping over $250. Tracking is emailed after dispatch.
