AICAR
AICAR is a synthetic nucleotide analog commonly used as a reference compound in laboratory research involving cellular and biochemical assay systems. It is not a peptide and is produced via chemical synthesis rather than amino acid assembly.
Supplied as a solid research material, AICAR is intended exclusively for controlled in-vitro laboratory research conducted by qualified professionals.
✓ Sterile fill · ✓ Refrigerated storage · ✓ COA available on request
Molecular Information
~258.23 g/mol
≥99% by HPLC (reference specification; confirm with lot-specific COA)
White to off-white crystalline powder
Soluble in common laboratory buffers
Store sealed in a cool, dry environment away from direct light. Follow lot-specific handling documentation.
Not applicable — non-peptide compound
AICAR is taken up by cells and phosphorylated to ZMP, an AMP analog. ZMP can activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) through allosteric effects and promotion of Thr172 phosphorylation; AICAR may also produce AMPK-independent effects.
