Research profile
SNAP-8 research profile
SNAP-8 (INCI: Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic, N-acetylated and C-amidated octapeptide modeled on the N-terminal end of SNAP-25, a protein of the SNARE complex. It is an elongated version of acetyl hexapeptide-3 (Argireline), with two additional residues, Ala-Asp, at the C-terminus.

Published research
- SNARE complex: SNAP-8 is designed as a SNAP-25 mimic that competes for a position in the SNARE complex, the protein machinery of vesicle fusion.
- Parent peptide: the hexapeptide it extends, acetyl hexapeptide-3, was characterized in vitro for SNARE-complex interference (Blanes-Mira et al., Int. J. Cosmet. Sci., 2002).
- Formulation science: both peptides are common reference materials in cosmetic-chemistry research on peptide stability and delivery.
Frequently asked questions
Is SNAP-8 the same as Argireline?
No. SNAP-8 is an octapeptide (8 residues). Argireline, acetyl hexapeptide-3, has 6 residues. SNAP-8 adds Ala-Asp to the same N-terminal sequence. See our comparison guide.
What is the INCI name of SNAP-8?
Acetyl Octapeptide-3. Some catalogs also list it as Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-3.
How much SNAP-8 is in each vial?
Each vial contains 10 mg of lyophilized SNAP-8.
How do I verify my lot?
Scan the QR code on the vial to open the certificate of analysis for that lot.
