The paired research neuropeptides
Selank and Semax are paired seven-residue neuropeptides. Selank derives from tuftsin and Semax from a fragment of ACTH. This record lists a paired research format.
The catalogue associates Selank with GABAergic and serotonergic signaling, and both peptides with BDNF-related research. Semax also appears in melanocortin-system literature.
Selank and Semax appear in neurobiology and neuropeptide-signaling literature.
Both have seven residues, but their sequences differ: TKPRPGP and MEHFPGP.
Selank is a tuftsin analog; Semax is a modified ACTH fragment.
