SNAP-8
SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an eight-amino-acid elongation of the Argireline hexapeptide sequence, modelled on the N-terminal domain of SNAP-25. It is studied in dermatological and cosmetic-science research on SNARE-complex assembly and topical delivery of peptide actives.

Research summaries
For educational purposes only.
SNARE-complex interference by SNAP-25 mimetics
In vitro work reports that SNAP-25-derived peptides compete for a position in the ternary SNARE complex required for vesicle docking, attenuating catecholamine and acetylcholine release in cell models. SNAP-8 was designed as a longer analogue of acetyl hexapeptide-8 intended to improve this competitive binding.
In plain English
SNAP-8 is studied as a peptide that competes with SNAP-25 in the machinery neurons use to release signalling molecules. This is a cell-model mechanism, not a demonstrated clinical outcome.
Topical peptide delivery and skin penetration
Cosmetic-science literature notes that hydrophilic peptides of this size penetrate intact stratum corneum poorly, so reported effects depend heavily on formulation and delivery vehicle. Published efficacy data are largely manufacturer-sponsored and use instrumental wrinkle-depth endpoints rather than controlled independent trials.
In plain English
How well SNAP-8 gets through skin is the main open question in the literature, and the supporting efficacy data are mostly sponsor-run.
SNAP-8 — Frequently asked questions
What is SNAP-8?
SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an eight-amino-acid elongation of the Argireline hexapeptide sequence, modelled on the N-terminal domain of SNAP-25. It is sold strictly for laboratory research use — not for human or veterinary use.
What purity is this SNAP-8?
The catalog specification lists 99.29% HPLC purity. Our testing policy also requires independent endotoxin, heavy-metals and sterility screening. An independent report from Janoshik Analytical is linked in the Certificates tab; a production certificate must match the batch ID printed on the vial.
What sizes does SNAP-8 come in?
SNAP-8 (10mg vials) is offered in 10mg, 20mg, 40mg boxes (1 × 10mg vials, 2 × 10mg vials, 4 × 10mg vials), priced $34.00 to $100.00 — the per-mg cost falls as box size increases.
How should SNAP-8 be stored?
Keep sealed lyophilized vials refrigerated at 2–8°C away from light (stable 24+ months). After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate and use within the study-validated window, typically 30 days; never freeze reconstituted solution.
Storage details
Lyophilized (as shipped): store refrigerated at 2–8°C away from light. Sealed vials remain stable for 24+ months; short excursions at room temperature during transit do not affect stability.
After reconstitution: store at 2–8°C and use within the study-validated window (typically 30 days with bacteriostatic water). Do not freeze reconstituted solution.
Handling: direct diluent down the vial wall and swirl gently — never shake. Peptide bonds are mechanically fragile in solution.
Light: keep vials in the box or amber sleeve; repeated light exposure accelerates degradation of SNAP-8.
