5-Amino-1MQ

Overview

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and implicated in adipocyte (fat cell) regulation research. Unlike most products in our catalog, it is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is reflected in its different storage and handling profile.

Genesis Genetics supplies 5-Amino-1MQ exclusively for laboratory and research applications. It is not sold, marketed, or intended for human or veterinary use.

Research Context

Research on 5-Amino-1MQ centers on NNMT's role in cellular NAD+/SAM metabolism and its downstream effects on adipocyte and metabolic signaling, frequently discussed alongside other metabolic-research compounds such as AOD9604 and Retatrutide, despite acting through an entirely distinct enzymatic mechanism.

Purity & Analytical Testing

Every 5-Amino-1MQ lot is verified by HPLC for identity and purity before release, documented on the included lot-specific Certificate of Analysis.

For more on how this testing fits into our broader release process, see Quality Control. For what the Certificate of Analysis itself contains, see Certificate of Analysis.

Storage & Handling

As a small molecule rather than a peptide, 5-Amino-1MQ is generally more stable at room temperature than lyophilized peptides, but should still be stored in a cool, dry, dark location to preserve potency.

For a full walkthrough of reconstitution technique and stability windows, see our research article on Peptide Storage 101. Bacteriostatic water for reconstitution is available on our Bac Water product page, and shipping/cold-chain handling for temperature sensitive orders is covered on our Shipping & Cold Chain page.

Related Compounds

5-Amino-1MQ is frequently researched alongside compounds studied for adjacent or complementary research contexts, including Bac Water and NAD+. See the curated "Recommended With" section above for the full set.
