99% Purity Snap-8 Peptide Acetyl Octapeptide-3 CAS 868844-74-0 Lyophilized Powder Research Grade for Research Use Only

Snap-8 (also known as Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic octapeptide consisting of eight amino acids with the sequence Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH2. It is designed as a structural mimic of the N-terminal domain of the SNAP-25 protein, which is a core component of the SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complex involved in vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release mechanisms.

The octapeptide features N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation modifications, which enhance stability and help preserve native peptide conformations in research settings. With a molecular weight of 1075.16 g/mol, Snap-8 provides researchers with a simplified model to investigate motif-level interactions within the SNARE complex without the complexity of the full-length protein.

Snap-8 is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilized powder with ≥99% purity (tested by HPLC). Based on the price list, it is available in one dosage: NP810 (10mg per vial), with a standard pack size of 10 vials per box. Each vial is sealed with an aluminum-plastic flip-off cap and clearly labeled with product name, dosage, and batch number for easy identification and traceability.

For laboratory research purposes only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.

This product is strictly manufactured under GMP-like conditions, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control, including HPLC for purity analysis, Mass Spectrometry for molecular weight confirmation, and appearance inspection. Water content and bacterial endotoxin levels are also tested to ensure product integrity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with each batch, and third-party testing is available upon request.

Key Research Applications: SNARE complex assembly and stability studies, vesicle fusion mechanism research, neurotransmitter release pathway investigations, protein-protein interaction assays using simplified peptide models, molecular dynamics simulations of peptide-protein interactions, and peptide-based neurochemistry research.

Storage and Handling: Store lyophilized powder at -20°C, protected from light, and keep the vial tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Under these conditions, the product remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once reconstituted with appropriate sterile solvent (such as sterile water or PBS), the solution should be refrigerated at 2-8°C and used within 7-14 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles after reconstitution, as this may compromise peptide integrity.

Snap-8 is a high-purity (≥99% by HPLC) synthetic octapeptide supplied as a lyophilized powder, ideal for SNARE complex and vesicle fusion research applications. It serves as a simplified structural mimic of the SNAP-25 protein, allowing researchers to study motif-level interactions without the complexity of the full-length protein. Each batch undergoes strict quality control, including HPLC and Mass Spectrometry analysis, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and reliability.
