AICAR peptide – research peptide for energy metabolism, muscle performance and cell metabolism

AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is an adenosine monophosphate (AMP) analog that has received considerable research attention for its ability to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) . This enzyme plays a crucial role in cellular energy management, fatty acid oxidation , and glucose regulation .
In preclinical studies, AICAR is being investigated for its potential influence on endurance performance, muscle metabolism, and metabolic regulation .

Features & Benefits (under research)

• Activates the AMPK enzyme, an important regulator of energy metabolism
• Being studied for support of fatty acid combustion and glucose uptake in muscle cells
• Possible role in muscular endurance and cell metabolism
• Promotes mitochondrial activity in preclinical models
• Research into possible synergy with other metabolic peptides
• Widely used in biochemical and physiological research models

Mechanism of action

AICAR functions as an AMP analog that activates intracellular AMPK. This activates processes that increase energy production , such as fatty acid oxidation and glucose metabolism . Research has shown that AICAR can contribute to cell protection under energy-deficit conditions and influence the cellular stress response .

Purity & quality assurance

Each batch of AICAR peptide is tested for purity and sterility. Only peptides with ≥ 99% purity , confirmed by independent laboratories, are supplied.
Each vial contains a certificate of analysis (COA) for transparent quality assurance.
