Snap-8

SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) – Research Peptide

SNAP-8, also known as Acetyl Octapeptide-3, is a synthetic
peptide composed of a chain of eight amino acids.
It was developed as an advanced variant of Argireline
(Acetyl Hexapeptide-8) and is widely used in
biochemical and dermatological research due to its role in
neurotransmitter-related muscle contraction processes.

SNAP-8 is studied for its potential to influence the
interaction between SNARE complex proteins, making it a valuable research
model in studies focused on
neuromuscular signaling and skin aging mechanisms.
Its refined structure provides improved stability compared to shorter peptide analogues.
