What Is 5-Amino-1MQ? Research Compound Overview

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule — not a peptide — studied in metabolic research as an NNMT inhibitor. Here's the overview.

What Is 5-Amino-1MQ? Research Compound Overview — research peptide vial, for laboratory research use only

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound, not a peptide. It is studied in metabolic research as an inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), which links it to research on cellular metabolism and NAD+ pathways.

What the research examines

NNMT is an enzyme involved in metabolic regulation, and its activity influences cellular nicotinamide and NAD+ dynamics. In laboratory research, 5-Amino-1MQ is studied as an NNMT inhibitor to investigate metabolic-signaling and energy-regulation pathways in vitro. It is supplied strictly for research use only and is not for human consumption.
