SNAP‑8 - 10MG

SNAP‑8 10mg – Research Grade Peptide

SNAP‑8 (Acetyl Octapeptide‑3) is a synthetic peptide used in cosmetic and cell-based research exploring SNARE-related neurotransmitter release mechanisms and their relevance to expression wrinkle biology.

Product Details

• Synonyms: SNAP‑8; Acetyl Octapeptide‑3; SNARE‑mimetic peptide; commonly listed sequence Ac‑EEMQRRAD‑NH₂ (sequence conventions vary by supplier)
• CAS Number: Commonly listed as 868844‑74‑0 (verify with COA/salt form)
• Molecular Formula: C₄₁H₇₀N₁₆O₁₆S
• Molecular Weight: 1075.17 g/mol
• Solubility: Generally soluble in water; often formulated in aqueous cosmetic research systems; compatibility with DMSO depends on concentration

Background: SNAP‑8 is typically presented as a peptide inspired by the SNARE complex, which mediates vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release in neurons. Research on SNARE proteins (including SNAP‑25) underpins the rationale for SNARE‑mimetic cosmetic peptides; however, direct evidence for specific cosmetic endpoints can depend on formulation, penetration models, and assay design. SNAP‑8 is therefore most commonly positioned as a research tool ingredient in topical and in vitro cosmetic science.
