Overview
SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is the sequence Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH₂, an elongated analog of argireline studied in laboratory models of SNARE complex assembly and neurotransmitter vesicle docking.
History
Developed as an eight-residue extension of the hexapeptide argireline, itself derived from the N-terminal end of SNAP-25, with the longer sequence intended to compete more effectively for SNARE complex formation.
SNAP-8 is argireline with two more residues
SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH₂. Argireline (acetyl hexapeptide) is the first six of those residues. SNAP-8 is the elongated analogue, and that is the entire structural relationship between them.
Both are studied as competitive interferents in SNARE complex assembly — the peptides mimic the N-terminal region of SNAP-25 and compete with it for incorporation into the complex that docks neurotransmitter vesicles. The two extra residues are the reason SNAP-8 exists: comparative work asks whether extending the mimic changes how effectively it competes.
That makes the pair a structure-activity comparison rather than two options for the same job. A protocol specifying one is usually specifying it against the other.
Handling
The N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amide are both deliberate stabilising modifications and are part of the identity a Certificate of Analysis should confirm — an unmodified sequence of the same residues is a different compound.
The peptide contains methionine, which is oxidation-prone; buffers containing oxidising agents are avoided, and prolonged room-temperature holding in solution is worth avoiding for the same reason. It ships lyophilised, reconstitutes readily in bacteriostatic or sterile water, and is stored at -20°C protected from light, with reconstituted solution refrigerated at 2-8°C.
