Research compound
AICAR
AICAR (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is a cell-permeable nucleoside analog. Intracellular phosphorylation converts it to ZMP, a structural mimic of AMP that activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) without perturbation of the adenylate energy charge. This defined mechanism of action makes AICAR the reference tool compound for AMPK-dependent signaling studies, with documented research applications in metabolic pathway analysis, mitochondrial biogenesis assays, and glucose transporter trafficking. Certified and supplied lyophilized for in vitro research use only.
