Amino-1MQ – Research Compound
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound supplied as a high-purity lyophilised powder for laboratory use. It is a membrane-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) and is commonly examined in studies involving the NAD+ salvage pathway, metabolic regulation, and related biochemical research models under controlled laboratory conditions.
Although not a traditional peptide, 5-Amino-1MQ is frequently studied alongside metabolic research reagents. Zentra Labs supplies this material with batch-specific purity documentation and Certificate of Analysis (COA) so researchers can review the analytical data before experimental use.
For research use only. Not intended for human consumption, medical, therapeutic, diagnostic, or veterinary use.
