It inhibits NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase), an enzyme regulating metabolism, fat storage, and NAD+ consumption.[4][27][6] NNMT methylates nicotinamide, a NAD+ breakdown product, diverting it from recycling and reducing available NAD+
When 5-amino-1MQ increases cellular NAD+ levels, it enhances mitochondrial function, the powerhouses responsible for converting nutrients into usable cellular energy
The product, being a liquid solution, is refrigerated, and should be protected from light
Through precise NNMT inhibition, nicotinamide regulation, and NAD+ elevation, the product is widely used in research on hepatic metabolic disorders and fatty liver disease, supporting mechanistic dissection and drug development
The final libraries were quantified using the Qubit dsDNA HS assay (Invitrogen) and quality controlled with the Bioanalyzer 2100 DNA HS assay (Agilent)
