what is snap-8?
SNAP-8 is a synthetic acetylated octapeptide, an elongated analog of acetyl hexapeptide-3 (Argireline), based on a sequence from the SNAP-25 protein. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only. It is catalogued under skin & glow as a synthetic acetylated octapeptide.
SNAP-8 is a synthetic acetylated octapeptide, an elongated analog of acetyl hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) extended by two additional residues. Its sequence is modeled on the N-terminal region of SNAP-25, one of the proteins that assembles the SNARE complex, which makes it a convenient synthetic tool for studying that assembly in vitro.
In the laboratory, SNAP-8 is investigated in SNARE-complex and neurotransmitter-vesicle research, where it is used as a competitive peptide model for examining how SNAP-25 participates in vesicle docking and fusion, and as a reference compound in dermal cell-culture and peptide-permeation studies. Verve manufactures SNAP-8 in the United States, tests every batch by HPLC to a 99%+ purity standard, and publishes a batch-level certificate of analysis.

how pure is snap-8?
purity, third-party testing & the certificate of analysis
Every batch of verve SNAP-8is synthesized and vial-filled in the United States and screened by an independent, accredited laboratory. Chromatographic purity and quantity are measured by HPLC-UV/VIS; where the panel includes them, endotoxin is screened by LAL and sterility by USP <71>, with the sterility result reported as no growth detected or as pending while the culture is still running. Products are manufactured to a 99%+ purity standard where stated.
Published certificates for the lots currently in our COA library cover part of the range; a published report for this compound is not in the library yet. Orders placed Monday–Friday ship by 2pm CT, free over $100, with damage protection in transit and full US tracking.
