AICAR 50mg
AMPK-Activating Nucleoside Research Compound | Laboratory Use Only
AICAR is a cell-permeable adenosine analog that is taken up by cells and converted to ZMP, an AMP mimetic that activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the cellular energy sensor. It is one of the most widely used pharmacological tools for studying AMPK signaling and cellular energy metabolism in cell-based and preclinical models.
