As an anxiolytic peptide, Selank works by amplifying GABA’s calming effects through GABAA receptor modulation, providing a mechanism of action similar to benzodiazepines. Although Selank alone does not affect gene expression in GABAergic cells, its combination with GABA effectively suppresses GABA-induced changes in gene expression. Selank’s ability to enhance gene modulation when paired with olanzapine suggests a unique synergy within the GABAergic system, offering potential benefits for anxiety management in multi-drug therapies.
