What is Syn-AKE?
Syn-AKE mimics Waglerin-1 from the temple viper (Tropidolaemus wagleri). It acts as a reversible antagonist at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) muscular subtype, reducing muscle contraction frequency. Studies report 52% wrinkle reduction after 28 days of topical application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Syn-AKE safe for dermal research?
Syn-AKE is a synthetic tripeptide that mimics only the receptor-binding portion of snake venom, without the enzymatic toxicity. It reversibly blocks nAChR without destroying tissue, making it safe for dermal cosmetic research.
