N-Acetyl Selank is an N-terminally acetylated derivative of the seven-residue Selank peptide, supplied as a lyophilised research material. It is distinct from unmodified Selank and N-Acetyl Selank Amidate.
This material is not supplied as a medicine, treatment, supplement or consumer product. It is not for human or veterinary use, consumption or administration, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Compound overview
Research context
Ac denotes the N-terminal acetyl group. The reference sequence, formula and monoisotopic mass above describe the non-amidated molecule characterised by Vanhee et al. N-Acetyl Selank Amidate has a different C-terminal group and is a distinct chemical entity. Verify terminal chemistry against the applicable batch documentation; a product name alone is not structural confirmation.
Published parent-Selank research includes rat experiments examining neurotransmission-related gene expression and hippocampal BDNF expression. These studies do not establish that N-Acetyl Selank has the same biological effects. The linked analytical study provides identification context, not evidence of cognitive enhancement or human safety. See the Research tab for study-specific notes.
Reference values do not establish batch identity, purity or suitability. Counterions, water content and formulation can affect measurements. Monoisotopic mass is not the same quantity as average molecular weight.
Batch documentation
Independent analytical documentation is published where available for specific batches and variations. Match the compound, terminal form, vial size and batch identifier to the corresponding report before relying on any result. No published result indicator means no product-specific result is currently displayed for that variation.
Supply and laboratory handling

Frequently asked questions
What is N-Acetyl Selank?
An acetylated derivative of Selank, supplied for laboratory research. NA Selank is shorthand for N-Acetyl Selank.
Is it the same as Selank or N-Acetyl Selank Amidate?
No. N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation are separate modifications. Use documentation specific to the selected chemical form.
What does the reference mass describe?
The monoisotopic mass of the non-amidated reference molecule reported in the analytical literature, not a measured result for this batch.
Do parent-Selank papers prove effects for this product?
No. Results for unmodified Selank cannot automatically be assigned to its acetylated derivative. The Research tab identifies which material each paper concerns.
Are laboratory results available?
Check the COA tab for available records and match the product variation and batch identifier before relying on a report.
How should the material be stored?
See the Storage Guidelines tab and follow any batch-specific instructions. No human dosing, administration or injection guidance is provided.
