5-Amino-1MQ
Small molecule for adipocyte studies
5-Amino-1MQ is not a peptide but a small man-made molecule. Researchers use it as a tool to switch off one particular worker — an enzyme — inside cells.
Also known as 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium
How it is studied
It blocks an enzyme found in adipocytes that helps set how those cells handle energy. Switching that enzyme off is a way for researchers to study the process.
Research context
Studied in early laboratory research on adipocytes and how cells handle energy.
Good to know
A small molecule with only limited early research. Research use only.
Research area
Metabolic Research. This group covers compounds that scientists study in metabolic and energy-signaling pathways — including incretin, glucagon, and amylin-axis tools, plus related small molecules used as laboratory probes. Many copy or block natural gut and pancreatic hormones.
