5-amino-1mq
5-Amino-1MQ is a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that methylates nicotinamide using SAM as a methyl donor. By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ may increase intracellular NAD+ levels and SAM availability, linking it to sirtuin activity, methylation capacity, and adipocyte differentiation research.
