SNAP-8

This is a specialized research product of SNAP-8, a synthetic peptide analog of the N-terminal end of the protein SNAP-25, strictly intended For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use.

Description & Application

• Description: SNAP-8 is an octapeptide (8 amino acids) that is a modernized and more potent version of the hexapeptide Argireline. It is designed to mimic the N-terminal end of SNAP-25.

• Mechanism: In research models, SNAP-8 competes with SNAP-25 for a position in the SNARE complex (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein Receptor). By destabilizing this complex, it modulates the release of neurotransmitters, particularly acetylcholine, at the neuromuscular junction.

• Research Focus: It is widely utilized in laboratory settings to investigate:

  • Muscle contraction modulation and neurotransmitter release inhibition.

  • Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging signaling pathways (specifically related to expression lines).

  • Cellular signaling involving the SNARE complex.

  • Potential applications in dermatological research for skin smoothing effects.

Specifications & Storage

• Unit Size: 10mg (lyophilized powder, single vial).

• Sequence: $\text{Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH2}$.

• Molecular Weight: ~1075.1 Da.

• Form: Sterile, freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder.

• Solubility: Soluble in sterile water or research-compatible aqueous buffers.

• Storage (Dry): Store in a cool, dry environment (preferably $2^{\circ}\text{C}–8^{\circ}\text{C}$) away from direct light.

• Storage (Reconstituted): Once reconstituted, the solution must be refrigerated at $2^{\circ}\text{C}–8^{\circ}\text{C}$ to ensure peptide stability.
