SNAP-8

For Research Use Only. Not for Human or Veterinary Consumption.

SNAP-8 is a synthetic peptide derived from the N-terminal region of SNAP-25, studied in laboratory settings for its potential to influence synaptic vesicle fusion and neuronal signaling. Researchers utilize SNAP-8 to investigate cellular mechanisms related to neurotransmission and signal modulation in neural tissue models. It acts as a botulinum toxin-like peptide, modulating facial muscle contraction by inhibiting the formation of the SNARE complex, which results in reduced muscle movement. This peptide is relevant for exploring molecular interactions involved in synaptic function and neurochemical pathways.

This product is intended strictly for laboratory research. Not approved for therapeutic, diagnostic, or human use.

Mechanism of Action

• SNARE complex modulation: Inhibits SNARE protein interactions necessary for neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions.

• Reduces muscle contraction: Temporarily decreases facial muscle movement responsible for expression lines.

• Non-toxic alternative: Offers wrinkle-smoothing effects without injections or paralysis associated with botulinum toxin.
