3RD PARTY TEST RESULT
Selank 10mg
AOD-9604, lipolytic peptide fragment, which was derived from human growth hormone (HGH) during the late 1990s was modified from HGH residues 176-191. This modified compound primarily works as an element for fat burning and obesity treatment, while the exact mechanism by which this happens is still under research. It stimulates the breakdown (metabolism) of fat stores and inhibits the formation of fats without any detected side effects, affecting blood sugar levels or causing abnormal growth. In addition, the peptide shows several, apparently independent, positive effects on cartilage regeneration, improvement of metabolism or heart activity, confirmed by research.

1 Usage of peptide
The product is intended for scientific research and development purposes only. Chemical substances shall not be used as a drug, medicine, active substance, medical aid, cosmetic product, a substance for production of a cosmetic product neither for human consumption that is any food or food supplement or otherwise similarly used on humans or animals. Intended only for in-vitro research, such as Receptor-ligand binding studies, Enzyme activity assays, Cell proliferation assays, Cell signaling assays, Epitope mapping, ect.
2 Peptides in transport
Peptides in lyophilized form are supplied in glass vials by standard shipping methods and do not require refrigeration. Short-term temperature fluctuations during transport will not reduce their quality and efficacy. Even at high summer temperatures, the peptides in lyophilized form are stable for several weeks.
3 Storage of lyophilized peptides
Upon receiving the lyophilized peptide, store at 4 °C or colder and away from bright light. Lyophilized peptides are stable at room temperature for weeks, but for longer-term storage, it is safer to store at -20 °C or colder. Exposure to moisture will greatly decrease long-term stability of lyophilized peptides. Before using the peptide, remove from cold storage and allow the peptide to equilibrate to room temperature before removing the lid of the container, in order to reduce the uptake of moisture that is present in the surrounding atmosphere.
4 Storage of peptide solutions
The shelf life of peptide solutions is limited. Freezing the aliquots will prolong the storage life of the peptide. What is globally accepted for peptides in solution is that they are generally stable for 3 or more weeks at +4°C and for 3-4 months at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as this can degrade the peptides.
Description of AOD-9604
A synthetically produced peptide AOD-9604 consists of 15 amino acids. It is derived fragment of human growth hormone (fragment 176-191) known mainly for its lipolytic qualities, thanks to which it can perfectly stimulate body fat burning without negative side effects, that are mainly perceived by using common weight loss drugs. Study has shown that it has a very good tolerability and safety, thus the immune system does not form any antibodies against the AOD-9604 peptide. Other great benefit seems to be that blood sugar levels are not affected. However, several studies have also shown that chronic treatment with AOD-9604 had no adverse effect on insulin sensitivity of researched animals. So, the peptide does not appear to affect IGF-1 or insulin levels at all.
Now we would like to bring you closer to the effects of the peptide, which have been researched and confirmed in studies.

Research Confirmed Effects
Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide structurally derived from the endogenous peptide tuftsin. In laboratory research, Selank is studied as a molecular probe for investigating neurochemical signaling, gene expression regulation, and peptide-mediated modulation of immune and neuroendocrine pathways. Experimental studies focus on its biochemical interactions in controlled cellular systems and in vivo animal models.
Biochemical Characteristics
Sequence: Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro Molecular Formula: C33H57N11O9 Molecular Weight: 751.87 g/mol CAS Number: 129954-34-3 Synonyms: Selanc
Research Applications
Selank is utilized in preclinical research environments to examine peptide-driven modulation of molecular signaling networks. Common experimental applications include: Gene expression profiling related to neurotransmitter-associated pathways Investigation of GABAergic signaling components in rodent neural tissue Analysis of enkephalin-degrading enzyme activity in biochemical assays Immune-related gene transcription studies involving cytokines and chemokines Evaluation of peptide stability and receptor-associated signaling dynamics
Pathway / Mechanistic Context
Mechanistic studies indicate that Selank participates in modulation of intracellular signaling cascades associated with GABAergic neurotransmission, monoaminergic balance, and immune-related transcriptional regulation. In animal models, Selank exposure has been associated with altered expression of genes involved in receptor signaling, enzymatic degradation pathways, and cytokine-mediated communication. Additional investigations have examined Selank-related modulation of enkephalinase activity, suggesting an indirect influence on endogenous peptide turnover and receptor-ligand availability at the molecular level.
Preclinical Research Summary
Preclinical studies involving Selank have primarily utilized rodent models and in vitro biochemical systems. Published data describe changes in transcriptional profiles of neural and immune tissues, including genes associated with inflammatory signaling, neurotransmitter receptor modulation, and stress-responsive pathways. Animal-based experiments have further evaluated Selank as a tool for studying peptide-mediated regulation of gene networks involved in neuroimmune communication. These investigations emphasize pathway-level observations rather than organism-level outcomes.
Form & Analytical Testing
Selank is supplied as a synthetic research peptide. Analytical verification typically includes high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) to confirm identity, purity, and molecular mass. These analytical methods support consistency and reproducibility in laboratory research workflows.
