Peptides
Snap-8 10mg
Snap-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an eight-amino-acid extension of Argireline, studied for competitive inhibition of SNARE complex assembly and the resulting reduction in catecholamine vesicle docking.

About Snap-8 10mg
Snap-8 mimics the N-terminal region of SNAP-25, the SNARE protein that botulinum toxin cleaves. Rather than cutting the protein, it competes for a position in the ternary SNARE complex, which destabilises vesicle fusion. That competitive, reversible mechanism is why the peptide is studied as a topical research analogue for neuromuscular signalling work. The two additional residues relative to Argireline are reported to increase affinity for the complex. This is a cosmetic-chemistry research material, used at low concentration in formulation and cell-culture studies.
Storage and reconstitution
Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C in a dry, dark environment. Reconstitute in bacteriostatic water. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature for shipping and short-term storage.
Shipping within Canada
Orders placed before 2:00 PM Pacific on a business day are packed and dispatched the same day. Orders placed after that cut-off, or on a weekend or statutory holiday, are dispatched on the next business day. Parcels leave British Columbia, Canada and travel entirely within the country, so nothing on this order crosses a border, clears customs or is held by CBSA. Orders over CA$200 ship free; see the shipping page for transit times by province.
