5-amino-1mq 5mg

5-Amino-1MQ (5-Amino-1-Methylquinolinium) is a novel research peptide-mimetic compound that functions as a potent and selective blocker of the enzyme Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT plays a critical regulatory role in energy homeostasis and metabolic rate, particularly within adipose (fat) tissue. By inhibiting NNMT activity, 5-Amino-1MQ has been shown in preclinical studies to increase the availability of intracellular Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) and S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM), effectively mimicking the metabolic shift observed during caloric restriction without altering dietary intake. This mechanism is of significant interest to researchers studying obesity reversal, age-related metabolic decline, and cellular energy dysregulation.

This product is manufactured under stringent quality control standards and is intended strictly for in vitro research and laboratory use only. Each serving consists of a precisely measured 5mg dose, allowing for accurate titration in experimental models. Researchers commonly investigate this compound for its potential role in modulating adipocyte (fat cell) size, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and supporting mitochondrial biogenesis. As 5-Amino-1MQ is not approved for human consumption, proper handling protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and secure storage in a cool, dry environment, are required.
