It is a structural analogue of the SNAP-25 protein — a key component of the SNARE complex responsible for acetylcholine vesicle docking and fusion at the neuromuscular synapse. Snap-9 has been investigated in in vitro models for its capacity to modulate neurotransmitter release and attenuate muscle contraction signalling, making it a subject of interest in cosmetic peptide and dermatological research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanism of Action\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnap-9 competitively inhibits the formation of the SNARE complex by mimicking the SNAP-25 binding domain, thereby interfering with the docking and fusion of acetylcholine-containing synaptic vesicles at the neuromuscular junction. This reduces acetylcholine release and attenuates the downstream signal cascade that triggers muscle fibre contraction. In vitro studies have demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of muscle contraction in cell-based models, supporting its investigation as a topical neuromodulatory peptide in cosmetic research contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResearch Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSNARE complex assembly and neurotransmitter vesicle fusion studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeuromuscular junction signalling and acetylcholine release modelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmetic peptide efficacy and skin biology research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn vitro muscle contraction inhibition assays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopical neuromodulatory peptide investigation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eC₄₁H₇₀N₁₆O₁₆S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1075.17 g\/mo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e868844-74-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥98%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyophilised powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e -20°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is intended for legitimate laboratory and analytical research use only.
