NNMT plays a key role in metabolic dysfunction, and its inhibition has been shown to reverse obesity-related changes in adipose tissue. Kraus et al., Cell Metabolism How 5-Amino-1MQ Works The primary mechanism behind 5-Amino-1MQ lies in its ability to inhibit nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) an enzyme that is often overexpressed in fat cells, cancer cells, and aging tissues

While exogenous NAD provides the direct substrate for sirtuin activation and ATP production, 5-Amino-1MQ acts as a membrane-permeable inhibitor of the enzyme Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT)
