Selank is a synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide supplied for controlled laboratory, analytical, and scientific research.
Its defined sequence is:
Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro
or:
TKPRPGP
The commonly referenced free peptide is identified by CAS 129954-34-3, molecular formula C₃₃H₅₇N₁₁O₉, and molecular weight approximately 751.9 g/mol.
Because salt and counter-ion forms may carry different molecular specifications, the exact product identity should always be confirmed against the applicable Certificate of Analysis.
Research Applications
Selank may be examined in controlled non-clinical research involving:
- Peptide identity and characterization
- Molecular interaction studies
- Structure-function research
- Peptide stability assessment
- Analytical comparison
- Chromatographic profiling
- Biochemical signaling models
- Non-clinical cellular research
Any findings should remain specific to the applicable experimental model and should not be interpreted as evidence of neurological, behavioral, cognitive, therapeutic, or clinical effectiveness.
Structural Information
Selank contains seven amino-acid residues:
Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro
One-letter sequence:
TKPRPGP
It is a linear peptide with a defined amino-acid sequence suitable for sequence-specific analytical characterization.
Salt-Form Considerations
Selank may also be supplied as an acetate-associated form.
An acetate or diacetate preparation will have different molecular specifications from the free peptide. Therefore:
- Free peptide data should not automatically be used for an acetate form
- Counter-ion status should be verified
- Molecular formula and molecular weight should match the actual product COA
Analytical Identification
Relevant analytical characterization may include:
- Amino-acid sequence confirmation
- Molecular mass assessment
- Counter-ion verification
- Chromatographic purity analysis
- Peptide identity confirmation
- Structural characterization
- Lot-specific quality testing
Specifications & Documentation
Lot-specific documentation should be reviewed for:
- Product identity
- CAS number
- Amino-acid sequence
- Molecular formula
- Molecular weight
- Salt or counter-ion form
- Purity specification
- Analytical methodology
- Lot or batch information
- Certificate of Analysis
- Storage requirements
Authenticated lot-specific documentation should take precedence over generalized reference values.
Storage & Handling
Store according to conditions specified on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Protect the material from environmental conditions that may compromise peptide integrity.
Handling should follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for research materials.
