Description
SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) | SNARE-Modulating Octapeptide – Research Peptide
SNAP-8, also known as Acetyl Octapeptide-3, is a synthetic eight-amino-acid peptide developed as an elongated analog of acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline). Its sequence is patterned on the N-terminal domain of SNAP-25, a core protein of the SNARE complex.
In cell-based research, SNAP-8 has been characterized for its ability to compete with SNAP-25 for positioning within the SNARE complex, modulating calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release. It is also widely used in cosmetic-science research examining expression-line formation and in topical formulation studies.
Common research applications: SNARE complex assembly models, neurotransmitter release assays, and cosmetic formulation research.
