Mechanism of Action

GABA-A Receptor

Allosteric modulation

Selank binds to GABA-A receptors as an allosteric modulator, affecting receptor subunit composition and chloride channel conductance.

Cytokine Expression

IL-6 modulation

Published research indicates Selank influences interleukin-6 expression and other inflammatory mediators in glial cell cultures.

Storage & Handling
