Verified Peptides 5-Amino-1MQ

Description

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), used as a reference compound in metabolic research. Researchers study it for its effect on NNMT activity and downstream NAD and methyl-donor pools.

In cultured cells and laboratory animals, investigations have focused on NNMT expression, NAD salvage dynamics, adipocyte and skeletal-muscle energy metabolism, and methylation-pathway balance. Its enzyme-selective action makes it a useful probe for NNMT-linked metabolic research.

Intended use: In vitro and preclinical in vivo laboratory research only. Not approved for human or veterinary use.
