Reported applications include NNMT enzyme inhibition assays measuring 1-methylnicotinamide formation or S-adenosylhomocysteine release, intracellular target-engagement assays in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes where 5-Amino-1MQ reduced intracellular 1-methylnicotinamide with an EC near 2.3 M (Neelakantan et al., Biochem Pharmacol, 2018), membrane permeability and Caco-2 transport characterisation, methyltransferase selectivity panels covering COMT, DNMT1 and PRMT3, and rodent studies of NNMT inhibition in adipose tissue and liver following the antisense knockdown work of Kraus and colleagues (Nature, 2014)
It encodes MOTS-c, a 16-amino-acid peptide that travels from the mitochondrial matrix into the nucleus and even into the bloodstream, acting less like a local signaling molecule and more like a systemic hormone

Its also a precursor to glutathione producing cysteine through the transsulfuration pathway
