Selank belongs to a class of molecules called synthetic peptides. Selank was made by combining the sequence of a peptide called tuftsin with another sequence that improves its molecular stability. Tuftsin is a peptide closely related to immune function. It occurs naturally and makes up one part of the natural antibody IgG.
It is a small peptide compared to most naturally occurring proteins. Selank was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics in cooperation with the nootropic drug Semax, sometimes called its cousin peptide.

Selank assists with brain damage recovery by increasing BDNF (Brain-derived neurotrophic factor), an important brain-growth compound, and helps stabilize enkephalins in the blood to counteract the body's stress response.
