Chemical Information:
- Chemical Name: Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (Snap-8)
- Molecular Formula: C₄₁H₇₀N₁₆O₁₆S
- Molecular Weight: ~1079.2 g/mol
Description:
Snap-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the SNAP-25 protein, designed to investigate modulation of neurotransmitter release mechanisms in research models. It is structurally related to Argireline but extended to an octapeptide sequence for enhanced activity in experimental settings. In laboratory research, Snap-8 is used to study facial muscle contraction pathways, synaptic signaling, and peptide-based neurocosmetic mechanisms related to expression line formation and skin appearance regulation.
Research Applications:
- Neurotransmitter Release Studies: Used to investigate SNAP-25 mediated synaptic vesicle fusion mechanisms.
- Muscle Contraction Pathway Research: Examines neuromuscular signaling and facial muscle contraction dynamics.
- Peptide-Based Cosmetic Biology: Used in studies exploring non-invasive modulation of expression line formation pathways.
- Anti-Aging Mechanism Research: Investigates cellular signaling involved in skin aging and wrinkle development.
Storage and Handling:
- Store at -20°C (long-term)
- Refrigerate at 2–8°C after reconstitution
- Protect from light and moisture
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
Product Specifications:
- Appearance: White to off-white lyophilized powder
