About Snap-8
Snap-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is a synthetic eight-residue peptide, Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH₂, modeled on the N-terminal end of the SNAP-25 protein.
It is an extended analog of acetyl hexapeptide-3 and is used to study competition with SNAP-25 in SNARE complex assembly, and in cosmetic-science formulation research.
