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.

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 Tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin is a synthetic 44-amino-acid analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is Tesamorelin studied for in research?
It is used as a GHRH-receptor agonist model in secretagogue and endocrine-signaling research. Verve makes no human- or veterinary-use claims.
