Research Background

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that consumes methyl groups and NAD+ precursors. It is used in cell and animal research models investigating adipocyte lipid handling, NAD+ availability and NNMT-dependent methylation flux. Because it is not a peptide, it is supplied as a powder for laboratory reconstitution rather than as a lyophilized peptide vial standard.

Proposed Mechanisms

NNMT inhibitionBlocks nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, reducing NAD+ consumption via the NNMT route
NAD+ availabilityStudied for its effect on intracellular NAD+ pools in adipocyte models
Adipocyte lipid handlingReported effects on lipid accumulation in cultured adipocyte research models

FAQ

What is 5-Amino-1MQ and is it a peptide?

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule quinolinium iodide salt (CAS 42464-96-0), not a peptide. It is a nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor used as a laboratory research reagent.

What purity is supplied?

≥99% by HPLC, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis accompanies every kit.

How is 5-Amino-1MQ supplied and stored?

Supplied as a powder in 10-vial kits. Store sealed, desiccated at 2–8°C, protected from light. Reconstitution solvent depends on your protocol; the COA states the batch solubility result.

Is a COA provided?

Yes — a batch-specific COA with HPLC purity and MS identity data ships with every order. Full chromatograms are available on request.
