01 /What it is
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small molecule (not technically a peptide) that is included in the research peptide category because of its use in metabolic pathway research. It is a research grade inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT).
02 /How it works
In research models, 5-Amino-1MQ is studied as an NNMT inhibitor. NNMT inhibition is investigated in pathways related to NAD+ metabolism and adipocyte biology in research settings.
03 /What researchers explore it for
Researchers have explored 5-Amino-1MQ in metabolic pathway research, in adipocyte biology research, and in research models examining body composition markers.
04 /Safety and interactions
5-Amino-1MQ is for laboratory research use only and is not for human consumption. Not medical advice. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
05 /Research notes
Chemical family: quinolinium derivatives (NNMT inhibitors). Frequently grouped with metabolic research compounds. Powder form; handling per laboratory protocols.
