Snap-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic peptide studied for SNARE complex modulation through competition with SNAP-25 for binding. The SNARE complex mediates vesicular neurotransmitter release, and this pathway makes Snap-8 relevant to controlled in-vitro work examining neuromuscular signaling and expression-related skin research models.
snap-8 definition
SNAP-8 is an acetylated 8-amino-acid synthetic peptide derived from the N-terminal sequence of the SNARE-complex protein SNAP-25. Research models examine its interaction with SNARE-complex assembly in research-context models of neurotransmitter-release pharmacology. Cosmetic and signaling research applications. Research use only.

Compound Overview
Snap-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic peptide studied for SNARE complex modulation through competition with SNAP-25 for binding. The SNARE complex mediates vesicular neurotransmitter release, and this pathway makes Snap-8 relevant to controlled in-vitro work examining neuromuscular signaling and expression-related skin research models.
Research Background & Published Literature
Lipotec originally developed Snap-8. Published work in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science evaluates experimental effects on catecholamine release and neuromuscular junction signaling in cell culture models.

Storage, Handling & Stability Guidelines
Use the applicable lot/source record for storage of unopened material. Any diluent selection, preparation, temperature, aliquoting, or post-reconstitution hold conditions must be established by a qualified laboratory under a validated SOP; this page does not establish a stability window.
- Keep ambient-temperature handling time as short as practical to support compound integrity.
- Reseal vials promptly after each withdrawal to limit moisture exposure.
- Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow institutional chemical safety protocols at all times.
- For traceability, label all aliquots with compound name, concentration, reconstitution date, and operator initials.
Quality Assurance & Lab Verification
A finalized public Certificate of Analysis is available for this catalog item. Review the public COA for the applicable lot. Lot-specific identifiers, assay values, and methods are maintained in that record and are not repeated in this product dossier.
Shipping
Orders ship within the United States via USPS; international orders are not accepted. Laboratories should follow their validated SOP together with any handling fields published for the represented product or lot; no universal prepared-solution condition is inferred here.
