5-Amino-1MQ – Research Use Only
Description:
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule compound of growing scientific interest due to its role as a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT is an enzyme involved in cellular metabolism and energy balance. Research has explored how inhibition of NNMT may influence fat metabolism, energy expenditure, and cellular methylation pathways.
Background:
NNMT has been identified as a key regulator of nicotinamide and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) metabolism, which play critical roles in cellular energy and methyl donor balance. By inhibiting NNMT activity, 5-Amino-1MQ has become a subject of study in metabolic research, particularly in models involving fat storage, adipose tissue activity, and mitochondrial function.
Potential Areas of Research:
Inhibition of NNMT and its role in cellular energy pathways
Effects on adipose tissue metabolism and fat oxidation
Research into metabolic health and weight regulation models
Impact on NAD+ metabolism and mitochondrial activity
Potential role in age-related metabolic decline studies
