OVERVIEW
5-Amino-1MQ (5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a synthetic small-molecule research compound studied for its potential effects on cellular metabolism, fat metabolism, and energy regulation.
It functions primarily as an inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), which plays a role in regulating fat storage, NAD⁺ metabolism, and cellular energy balance. Because of its activity in these metabolic pathways, researchers investigate 5-Amino-1MQ in studies related to metabolic health, mitochondrial function, and energy production.
Unlike many research peptides, 5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule compound rather than a peptide, making it structurally different from most compounds used in peptide research.

STORAGE:
To maintain product stability and quality:
Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term storage.
Short-term storage may be maintained at 2–8°C (refrigerated).
Keep the vial dry, sealed, and protected from light.
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, as this may reduce peptide stability.
Once reconstituted, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used within a short timeframe according to laboratory protocols.
