AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) 50mg is a premier cell-permeable AMPK activator used to study metabolic signaling, cellular energy regulation, and mitochondrial biogenesis. It serves as a powerful research tool for investigating enhanced glucose uptake and fat oxidation mechanisms in laboratory settings.
Supplied as a stable, high-purity lyophilized powder in a 50mg vial. Strictly for research and laboratory evaluation.
Eterna Peptides offers premium, high-purity AICAR (50mg) lyophilized powder, an advanced cell-permeable compound extensively used in metabolic, cardiovascular, and cellular energy research. AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) acts as a potent analog of adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
Mechanism of Action
AICAR is renowned in laboratory settings for its unique ability to stimulate metabolic pathways without requiring actual physical exertion:
* **AMPK Activation:** It directly enters the cell and mimics AMP, binding to and activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK acts as the body’s master metabolic switch.
* **Mitochondrial Biogenesis:** By activating AMPK, AICAR triggers signaling cascades that promote the generation of new mitochondria, enhancing cellular respiration and energy efficiency.
* **Glucose Uptake:** Research indicates it stimulates glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle tissue, drastically modulating cellular energy balance.
Research Applications
In preclinical and in vitro models, AICAR is heavily investigated to study:
* The enhancement of oxidative capacity and endurance-related pathways in muscle tissue.
* Cellular mechanisms involved in glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity.
* Protective cardiovascular mechanisms during ischemic conditions.
* Lipid metabolism, fat burning, and cellular energy adaptations ($ATP$ production).
Our AICAR vials are precision-manufactured under strict quality control conditions, ensuring stable, lyophilized peptide structures optimized for rigorous scientific evaluation and consistent data reproduction.
