5-Amino-1MQ
Also known as: 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium · NNMT inhibitor
A small-molecule NNMT inhibitor studied for metabolic and fat-cell research — not a peptide, but studied in the same programmes.
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small molecule, not a peptide, included here because it appears in the same metabolic-research programmes. It is studied as an inhibitor of the enzyme NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase).
Because NNMT influences the NAD+ salvage pathway and fat-cell metabolism, 5-Amino-1MQ is researched for metabolic questions and is often discussed alongside NAD+ and NMN in the cellular-energy and metabolism literature.
