SNAP-8

Properties

Product Details

Description:
SNAP-8, also known as Acetyl Octapeptide-3, is a synthetic peptide composed of eight amino acids. It is an elongated analogue of the hexapeptide Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-3), designed based on the N-terminal end of the SNAP-25 protein.

In a research context, SNAP-8 is utilized for *in vitro* studies investigating the mechanisms of neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction. It is a tool for researchers exploring its competitive interaction with the SNARE (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein Receptor) complex, a key protein assembly required for vesicle fusion and exocytosis in neuronal cell models.
