SNAP-8 (10mg)
4.5 (29 reviews)
• 99%+ Pure
SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an elongated analog of the C-terminal end of SNAP-25. It competes with SNAP-25 for a position in the SNARE complex, modulating neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction. This mechanism is similar to botulinum toxin but acts through competitive inhibition rather than enzymatic cleavage, making it a subject of cosmeceutical and dermatological research.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SNAP-8 (10mg) and what is it used for in research?
SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an elongated analog of the C-terminal end of SNAP-25. It competes with SNAP-25 for a position in the SNARE complex, modulating neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction. This mechanism is similar to botulinum toxin but acts through competitive inhibition rather than enzymatic cleavage, making it a subject of cosmeceutical and dermatological research. It is classified under the Specialty Peptides research category and is studied in the following areas: Cosmeceutical, Neuromuscular Junction, Anti-Wrinkle, SNARE Complex.
What is the purity of SNAP-8 (10mg)?
Our SNAP-8 (10mg) is tested at 99%+ purity via third-party HPLC analysis. Every order ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and endotoxin levels.
How should SNAP-8 (10mg) be stored?
SNAP-8 (10mg) should be stored at -20°C. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder and is soluble in water.
What is the mechanism of action of SNAP-8 (10mg)?
SNARE complex modulator; competes with SNAP-25 for binding in the SNARE complex, reducing vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) release at the neuromuscular junction, thereby reducing muscle contraction
What is the molecular weight and sequence of SNAP-8 (10mg)?
SNAP-8 (10mg) has a molecular weight of 1075.16 g/mol. Its amino acid sequence is: Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH2.
Does SNAP-8 (10mg) come with a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. Every batch of SNAP-8 (10mg) is third-party tested and ships with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting HPLC purity, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, and endotoxin testing results.
What is the half-life of SNAP-8 (10mg)?
N/A (topical cosmeceutical; not systemically absorbed)
What delivery methods are used with SNAP-8 (10mg) in research?
In published research, SNAP-8 (10mg) has been administered via topical application. All use is for laboratory research purposes only.
