About SNAP-8
SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic 8-amino acid peptide with the sequence Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH₂, designed as a competitive antagonist analog of the N-terminal domain of SNAP-25 (synaptosomal-associated protein 25 kDa), a key component of the SNARE complex involved in neurotransmitter vesicle fusion at neuromuscular junctions. By competitively interfering with SNAP-25 incorporation into the SNARE complex in vitro, SNAP-8 is proposed to modulate acetylcholine exocytosis efficiency in controlled cell-free and cell-based assay systems.
Research applications of SNAP-8 encompass SNARE complex formation and dynamics studies in reconstituted liposome fusion assays, in vitro examination of SNAP-25 competitive displacement kinetics, neuromuscular junction model pharmacology, and investigation of SNARE-dependent vesicle trafficking mechanisms. The compound represents a tool for studying the molecular determinants of SNARE complex assembly in controlled biochemical systems. SNAP-8 is used in cell-free and cell-based assay contexts and is provided for qualified laboratory research use only.

Lyophilized Research Peptides
This product is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form — a process that extends shelf life and preserves peptide purity and structural integrity during storage. No fillers, excipients, or preservatives are used in the lyophilization process. The lyophilized powder should be reconstituted with an appropriate research-grade solvent in a controlled laboratory environment prior to use in in vitro or preclinical assay systems.
