Identifiers and molecular data
Background
Selank is a synthetic analog of tuftsin, the natural tetrapeptide Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg, extended at its C-terminus with Pro-Gly-Pro to resist breakdown by peptidases. It was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Storage and handling
Store sealed vials at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Let a vial reach room temperature before opening so condensation doesn't form on the powder. Use standard laboratory PPE and dispose of material as chemical waste under local rules.
