SNAP 8

Description

For Research Use Only – Not for Human or Veterinary Use SNAP-8, also known as Acetyl Octapeptide-3, is a synthetic peptide commonly studied in cosmetic and dermatological research for its ability to interact with neurotransmitter release pathways in facial muscle models. It is a modified version of the N-terminal of SNAP-25, a substrate of the SNARE complex, which plays a role in regulated exocytosis of neurotransmitters. Researchers investigate SNAP-8 for its potential effects on facial tension, synaptic vesicle modulation, and peptide-based alternatives to neuromuscular blocking agents in in vitro skin models. Its targeted mechanism and structural stability make it a valued compound in biochemical and cosmetic signaling studies.
