Overview
SNAP-8, known by the INCI name Acetyl Octapeptide-3, is a synthetic, N-acetylated and C-terminally amidated octapeptide (Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH2). Its sequence is modeled on the N-terminal region of SNAP-25, a component of the SNARE complex involved in neurotransmitter-vesicle docking, which is why it has been studied in the published literature as a probe of that pathway.
In research settings the peptide is studied as a reference material in SNARE-complex assembly assays in cell-free and in-vitro systems. Reported effects on SNARE-mediated exocytosis are model observations that characterize a molecular pathway; they do not establish clinical efficacy and are described here only as published research context.
BioTech Pharma supplies SNAP-8 as a lyophilized powder for in-vitro research use only; it is not a drug and is not intended for topical, cosmetic, human, or veterinary use. The sequence contains an oxidation-sensitive methionine residue. Lot-specific analytical documentation may be available and should be confirmed for the applicable material.
Research Applications
- SNARE-complex assembly studies (in vitro)
- Peptide oxidation and methionine-stability chemistry
- Analytical method development (LC-MS/HPLC)
Frequently Asked Questions
Scientific References
Analytical Data
Lot-specific documentation may be available for the applicable material and must be confirmed per enquiry. Where available, it may include:
- HPLC purity result
- LC-MS identity confirmation
- Appearance
- Net content
Request the records you need with your quote and we will confirm availability for your batch.
Procurement Details
Availability, lead time, salt / content basis, and cold-chain requirements depend on the specific lot and quantity, so we confirm them per enquiry rather than publishing fixed figures. Request confirmation for your requirements with your quote and our team will respond with details for the applicable batch.
Storage & Handling
Lyophilized: store at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture; the methionine residue is oxidation-sensitive, so limit air exposure. Reconstituted: store cold and protected from light, minimizing headspace exposure; confirm prepared-solution stability for the applicable material before extended use.
