What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ is a metabolic · small molecule peptide studied for diet-induced obesity (rodent) and white adipose tissue energy expenditure. Not a peptide but commonly grouped in peptide research. A selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme overexpressed in obese adipose tissue. Inhibition increases SAM and NAD+ availability, increasing adipocyte energy expenditure in animal models.
