What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

5-Amino-1MQ is a membrane-permeable small molecule that acts as a selective inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide $N$-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT is predominantly expressed in adipose tissue and the liver, playing a critical role in cellular energy metabolism, $NAD^+$ salvage pathways, and nutrient sensing.

By inhibiting NNMT activity, 5-Amino-1MQ is widely studied in cellular and animal models to evaluate its effects on:

• Cellular Metabolism: Increases intracellular $NAD^+$ concentrations and $S$-adenosylmethionine (SAM) ratios.

• Adipocyte Energy Expenditure: Investigated for its impact on basal metabolic rate and lipid accumulation in fat cells.

• Skeletal Muscle Dynamics: Explored in studies targeting muscle cell regeneration and stem cell function.

Why Source 5-Amino-1MQ from Peptology Labs UK?

When sourcing research compounds online, analytical consistency is paramount. Peptology peptides UK standards ensure that every vial of 5-Amino-1MQ delivers verified potency for accurate experimental reproducibility.

Product Highlights

• Verified Purity: Every batch is tested via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to guarantee $\ge 99\%$ purity.

• Structural Identity: Mass Spectrometry (MS) confirms exact molecular mass and chemical structure.

• Controlled Packaging: Sealed under inert conditions to prevent degradation from humidity and oxygen.

• Fast UK Fulfillment: Shipped directly from within the UK to ensure fast, safe, and reliable transit times.

Laboratory Handling & Storage Guidelines

To preserve product integrity and prevent degradation:

1. Storage Upon Receipt: Store the unopened vial in a freezer at $-20^\circ\text{C}$ away from light.

2. Equilibration: Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to avoid condensation accumulation.

3. Solvent Preparation: Solubilize according to your specific lab protocol (commonly reconstituted in DMSO or sterile buffers depending on assay requirements).
