AMPK activating nucleoside for metabolic and exercise research
These products are intended for laboratory research use only and are not for human consumption. Not for use in food, drug, household, or cosmetic applications. All research should be conducted in accordance with applicable safety guidelines and regulations.
AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is a cell-permeable nucleoside analog that is phosphorylated intracellularly to AICA ribonucleotide (ZMP), a potent activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Research has used AICAR extensively to study AMPK signaling in the context of cellular energy sensing and metabolic adaptation.
AICAR research has established foundational understanding of AMPK pathway biology, with studies demonstrating its ability to simulate exercise-like metabolic signaling, improve glucose uptake, and modulate mitochondrial biogenesis in cell and animal research models.
