Snap-8 peptide, or Acetyl Octapeptide-3, is an elongation of the famous hexapeptide, Argireline. This biomimetic peptide is renowned for its anti-wrinkle properties and is increasingly being utilized in the realm of cosmeceuticals.
The mechanism of action of Snap-8 involves modulating muscle contraction. Specifically, it targets the SNARE complex, a set of proteins that mediates vesicle trafficking and neurotransmitter release. Research has shown by impeding the formation of this complex, Snap-8 reduces the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in muscle contraction. The resulting effect is a reduction in the intensity of facial muscle contractions, leading to a decrease in the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles.
