Snap-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3)

Snap-8 is a synthetic octapeptide engineered as an elongation and evolution of the hexapeptide Argireline. Composed of a chain of eight amino acids, it is designed to target and modulate the SNARE protein complex pathway.

• Primary Research Areas: Neuropeptide signaling, SNARE complex assembly modulation, and cellular mechanisms associated with dynamic expression lines.

• Mechanism Overview: Snap-8 functions as a competitive mimic of the N-terminal end of SNAP-25, interacting with the SNARE machinery to attenuate the exocytosis of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions. This pathway modulation is commonly investigated for its ability to relax localized muscle contractions without inducing total paralysis.

• Purity: Greater than 99% verified by HPLC.

• Format: Lyophilized powder supplied in a sealed glass vial for precise laboratory reconstitution.
