What 5-amino-1MQ is

5-amino-1MQ is not a peptide. It is a small molecule that inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, an enzyme that sits between cellular metabolism and the regulation of gene activity. It is a research compound with no published human data at all, and it is on this site because listed suppliers sell it alongside peptides.
