Function
Argireline is a Neuropeptide.
This Peptide is a topical cosmetic peptide reported to decrease dynamic wrinkles by partially mimicking the mechanism of botulinum toxin in a non-invasive manner49
Peptide record
Argireline
Peptide record
Argireline
Mechanism
Argireline is acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-NH2), a SNAP-25–mimetic peptide that competitively inhibits SNARE complex assembly, reducing acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions and attenuating facial muscle contraction4959
Argireline is a Neurotransmitter modulator.
Receptor
Molecular target is the SNARE complex component SNAP-25 rather than a classical receptor; it interferes with SNAP-25 participation in vesicle fusion49
Length
6 amino acids
Organism or Origin
Fully synthetic neuropeptide used in cosmetic formulations49
