Functions

Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is an elongation of the famous Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 which mimics the N-terminal end of SNAP-25 , it competes with the natural protein for a position in the SNARE complex. If the SNARE complex is slightly destabilized, the vesicle cann’t realease neurotransmitters efficiently and therefore muscle contraction is attenuated , preventing the formation of lines and wrinkles.
