Classification: Synthetic Octapeptide / Neuromodulating Peptide
Product Overview
SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is an elongated synthetic derivative of Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8). It is an eight-amino-acid peptide widely studied for its ability to target and modulate the neuromuscular pathways responsible for dynamic facial expression lines.
Supplied as a 10mg freeze-dried powder, it is utilized primarily in advanced cosmetic science and biochemical research exploring non-invasive alternatives for reducing the depth of wrinkles.
Key Features & Mechanism
Sequence: Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH_2
Mechanism of Action: Competitively inhibits the assembly of the SNARE complex, mildly reducing the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This results in a temporary, localized relaxation of surface muscle tension without permanent paralysis.
Form: Lyophilized powder for structural stability.
Storage: Store in a freezer at -20^\circ\text{C} or below. > Disclaimer: For research and laboratory use only. Not for human consumption, clinical diagnostic use, or direct therapeutic application.
