5-Amino-1MQ: Does the Magic Pill Really Exist?
The peptide 5-amino-1MQ is a molecule that blocks the activity of an enzyme called nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT plays a very important role in metabolism and energy production and is predominantly active in adipose tissue. By blocking NNMT, 5-amino-1MQ stimulates an increase in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a central cofactor for cellular metabolism, thereby increasing […]
