5-Amino-1MQ in research

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that consumes S-adenosylmethionine while methylating nicotinamide. The compound has been studied in vitro in adipocyte and hepatocyte models for its effect on NAD+/NADH dynamics, methyl-donor balance, and downstream metabolic markers.

Identity

Each lot is supplied with HPLC purity, MS identity, and a structure summary on the CoA. Hygroscopic-sensitive packaging.

Storage

Hold solid material desiccated at -20 °C protected from light. Prepare working stocks in lab-grade water or DMSO per your assay protocol.

Documentation

CoA covers identity, purity, and residual solvents where in scope.

Research guide

5-Amino-1MQ research overview

5-Amino-1MQ is listed as a research-use-only material for qualified laboratory programs. This page connects the product listing with identity fields, storage context, CoA review, and long-form research resources so procurement and QA reviewers can evaluate the SKU without relying on a thin commerce page.

The catalog classifies this material as NNMT inhibitor (research compound), which helps labs compare it with adjacent research peptides, organize internal inventory, and build study-specific reference groups.

Product FAQ

Is 5-Amino-1MQ intended for clinical programs?

No. BluGen listings are research use only (RUO) materials for qualified laboratory programs, not clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, veterinary, food, drug, or cosmetic use.

What documentation is available for 5-Amino-1MQ?

Lot-level documentation may include CoA, HPLC purity, MS identity confirmation, net peptide content, and batch records where available for the SKU and lot.

How should lyophilized 5-Amino-1MQ be stored?

Store sealed lyophilized vials cold, dry, and protected from light unless the lot CoA or institutional SOP specifies another condition. Reconstituted material should be aliquoted according to the lab protocol.

Where can I learn more about 5-Amino-1MQ research context?

See the BluGen research guide for mechanism context, stability notes, storage considerations, and related peptide comparisons: https://getblugen.com/research/research-guide-5-amino-1mq/

What is the research category for 5-Amino-1MQ?

5-Amino-1MQ is categorized as NNMT inhibitor (research compound) for catalog organization, internal linking, and related research comparisons.

What sequence is listed for 5-Amino-1MQ?

Sequence identity should be verified against the lot-specific CoA and product identity table before release into a research workflow.

What molecular weight is listed for 5-Amino-1MQ?

The listed molecular weight for 5-Amino-1MQ is 286.11 g/mol. Use the lot CoA and net peptide content when calculating research stock concentrations.

Does 5-Amino-1MQ require cold storage?

Most lyophilized research peptides are stored cold, dry, sealed, and protected from light unless the lot CoA or institutional SOP states otherwise.

How should reconstituted 5-Amino-1MQ be handled?

Reconstituted research stocks should be labeled with SKU, lot, solvent, concentration, date, and technician initials, then aliquoted according to the lab protocol to limit freeze-thaw history.

Can lots of 5-Amino-1MQ be mixed together?

Avoid mixing lots unless a written protocol requires it. Mixed-lot stocks reduce traceability and make CoA review more difficult.

What purity documentation matters for 5-Amino-1MQ?

HPLC purity, MS identity, net peptide content, moisture or residual summaries where available, and lot number alignment are the core documentation checks.

What does net peptide content mean for 5-Amino-1MQ?

Net peptide content accounts for peptide mass apart from water and counter-ion contribution. It is important for molarity calculations in laboratory records.

What should procurement review before ordering 5-Amino-1MQ?

Procurement should review SKU, vial size, lot documentation path, RUO status, storage requirements, shipping expectations, and any internal approval requirements.

How should 5-Amino-1MQ be cited in a method record?

Record supplier, SKU, lot number, CoA document ID, reconstitution solvent, stock concentration, storage condition, and date prepared.

What are common related resources for 5-Amino-1MQ?

Related resources include the peptide storage guide, reconstitution guide, CoA reading guide, purity guide, and any comparison articles linked from the product page.

Why does BluGen link 5-Amino-1MQ to research articles?

Internal article links help buyers evaluate identity, storage, documentation, and research context without relying on a thin product listing.

What should be done if 5-Amino-1MQ documentation is incomplete?

Hold the lot in review and request the missing CoA or batch documentation before releasing the material into an internal research workflow.

Is 5-Amino-1MQ content on BluGen medical advice?

No. BluGen content is laboratory procurement and research documentation content for RUO materials only.
