Snap-8

SNAP-8
A synthetic peptide of eight amino acids designed to mimic the N-terminal region of SNAP-25, a key protein in neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction. Developed as a functional analog for studying how targeted peptides can influence SNARE complex formation, which is the group of proteins responsible for vesicle fusion and signal transmission between nerve and muscle cells.

Research Focus

• Regulation of facial muscle contraction and neuromuscular signaling.

• Study of SNARE complex assembly and vesicle release mechanisms.

• Exploration of neuromodulatory effects relevant to cosmetic peptide research.

• Investigation of peptide–protein interactions involved in muscle relaxation.

• Reference model for topical bioactive peptide studies.

Mechanisms Under Study

• Modulation of SNARE complex formation to reduce muscle contraction intensity.

• Peptide-mediated influence on neurotransmitter release pathways.

• Experimental applications in cosmetic and neurobiological research.

Product Information
