what each one is
5-Amino-1MQ
Small-molecule enzyme inhibitor (not a peptide)
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule rather than a peptide: a methylquinolinium compound that acts as a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). It is cell-permeable and carries a permanent positive charge on its quaternary nitrogen, a structural feature that shapes how it distributes in cellular assays and why it is used as a tool compound in enzyme-inhibition research.

Synthetic triple-agonist peptide
GLP-3 RTA is a synthetic single-chain peptide engineered to act at three related class B G-protein-coupled receptors at once: the GLP-1 receptor, the GIP receptor, and the glucagon receptor. Its backbone is derived from the incretin peptide family and carries a fatty-acid modification that extends plasma half-life in pre-clinical systems, making it a widely cited reference agonist in incretin-receptor research.

What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule, not a peptide — a methylquinolinium compound that selectively inhibits the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No. It is a small-molecule enzyme inhibitor with no amino-acid backbone, which is why it is handled and stored differently from the peptides in the catalog. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research.
What is GLP-3 RTA?
GLP-3 RTA is a synthetic peptide that acts as an agonist at three receptors — GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is GLP-3 RTA studied for in research?
In in-vitro and pre-clinical models it is used as a reference agonist in incretin-receptor pharmacology, cAMP signaling, and metabolic-pathway research. Verve makes no claims about use in humans or animals.
