Product Overview

SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic peptide fragment modeled after the N-terminal end of SNAP-25, a protein involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release.
It has been widely studied in cosmetic and biochemical research for its ability to modulate muscle contraction pathways, making it a valuable research analog in studies of neurotransmission, peptide receptor signaling, and expression modulation.

As an extension of Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8), SNAP-8 exhibits enhanced stability and affinity in neurochemical pathway studies, often utilized for exploring synaptic signaling and vesicle exocytosis at the molecular level.


Applications

  • In vitro investigations of SNARE complex interactions and neurotransmitter release mechanisms.

  • Research on neuromodulatory peptides and their roles in cellular communication.

  • Comparative studies between SNAP-8 and shorter analogs such as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline).

  • Analytical reference material for peptide structure-activity and stability research.
