Snap-8 10 mg – Lab Research Supply (Acetyl Octapeptide-3, commonly abbreviated as SNAP-8) is a laboratory-grade, synthetic acetylated octapeptide analog derived from the SNAP-25 protein sequence. Classified as a neuromodulatory research peptide, Snap-8 is widely used in peptide research and scientific research contexts for investigating modulation of SNARE-mediated exocytosis and related cellular signaling. Its physicochemical profile and reproducible performance make it a valued research peptide for in-vitro studies and preclinical laboratory investigations.

• Investigated in studies examining modulation of neurotransmitter release and SNARE complex interactions in neuronal cell models
• Research has explored its role in cosmetic science and skin biology models related to neuromuscular signaling and cellular contractility
• In-vitro studies have demonstrated effects on vesicular trafficking, exocytosis kinetics, and synaptic protein interactions in cultured cells
• Animal model research suggests potential utility in neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory experimental paradigms (preclinical research only)
• Laboratory investigations focus on formulation stability, topical delivery systems, and peptide blend compatibility for analytical and formulation research

Technical specifications: Snap-8 is supplied as a lyophilized, white to off-white powder at 10 mg per vial. Supplied as a high purity peptide (≥98% where specified on the Certificate of Analysis). Exact molecular formula, molecular weight, and sequence details (acetylated octapeptide derived from SNAP-25) are provided on the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis; CAS indexing may be vendor-dependent and is noted on accompanying documentation.

Quality assurance: Manufactured to laboratory-grade standards with documented quality control. Each batch undergoes HPLC purity analysis and mass spectrometry confirmation; third-party testing is available upon request. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and batch traceability are supplied with every lot. Routine batch testing includes identity, purity, and residual solvent assessments.

Storage & handling: Store lyophilized material at -20°C in a desiccated environment; protect from light and moisture. Reconstitute with sterile water or appropriate buffer immediately prior to use; aliquot to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Short-term working solutions may be stored at 4°C for limited periods as defined in your protocol. Typical unopened shelf life is 12 months under recommended storage.
