Overview

INCI Name: Pentapeptide-18 is a peptide compound with applications in research and therapeutics. INCI Name: Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate

Chemical Identity

PropertyValue
NameINCI Name: Pentapeptide-18
SequenceSequence: Tyr-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu

Mechanism: Targets enkephalin receptor on nerve endings; modulates acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction (different mechanism from Argireline)

Application: Expression line relaxers; often combined with Argireline for synergistic “botox-like” effect

Enkephalin-mimetic pentapeptide. Works at a different stage of vesicle release than SNARE-targeting peptides. Synergistic when combined with Argireline (different mechanism of action).
