AICAR 50mg is formulated for precise research applications. At Ultra Peps, we prioritize consistency, reliability, and research-focused handling standards.
AICAR 50mg is a research compound commonly studied for its interaction with AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an important cellular energy-sensing pathway involved in metabolic regulation and cellular signaling. Additionally, researchers utilize AICAR to investigate how AMPK activity influences energy utilization, cellular adaptation, and molecular communication within biological systems.
Due to its role in energy-regulating pathways, AICAR is frequently examined in laboratory settings involving metabolism, mitochondrial function, signal transduction, and cellular response mechanisms. Furthermore, ongoing investigations continue to explore how AMPK-mediated signaling networks influence biological regulation and metabolic communication. As a result, AICAR remains a valuable research tool in pharmacological and biochemical studies.
Mode of Action
AICAR functions as an AMP analog. It is converted within cells into 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (ZMP) a molecule that closely resembles adenosine monophosphate (AMP). As a result, ZMP activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Furthermore, it is a cellular energy sensor responsible for monitoring energy availability and coordinating metabolic responses. Once activated, AMPK initiates signaling pathways that help cells adapt to changing energy demands by regulating nutrient utilization, cellular metabolism, and energy-producing processes.
Furthermore, AMPK activation influences multiple downstream signaling networks involved in glucose metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and cellular stress responses. Consequently, activation of these pathways is studied for cellular adaptation during periods of increased energy demand or reduced energy availability. In conclusion, AICAR serves as a valuable model for investigating how AMPK-mediated signaling regulates metabolic communication and cellular energy homeostasis.
BPC-157 supports research involving cellular repair and metabolic signaling pathway activity. In simple terms, scientists may compare it with AICAR to study how different peptide compounds influence energy regulation and tissue response models.
IGF-1 LR3 closely relates to AICAR in research involving cellular growth signaling and metabolic pathway activity. Therefore, researchers often examine these compounds when comparing how anabolic growth signals interact with AMPK-driven energy-sensing pathways in muscle and metabolic tissue models.

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR RESEARCH ONLY
This designation allows the use of research chemicals and peptides strictly for in vitro testing and research. It is to be handled by qualified and licensed professionals, in laboratory settings only.
Bodily introduction of any kind, into humans or animals, is strictly illegal by law.This product is NOT for human use and can be harmful if ingested. This product is not in a sterile solution. It is not a drug, food, or cosmetic.
Peptides should be stored properly to maintain their stability and effectiveness. Here are some general guidelines for storing peptides:
1. Lyophilized (Dry/Powder) Peptides:
Storage Temperature: Store at -20°C or -80°C. Lyophilized peptides are typically more stable at lower temperatures.
Avoid Moisture: Keep them in airtight containers to avoid moisture exposure, which can degrade peptides.
Expiration: Lyophilized peptides generally have a longer shelf life when stored properly (up to a year or more).
2. Reconstituted Peptides (in Solution):
Storage Temperature: If you’ve dissolved a peptide in a solvent (e.g., water, acetic acid, or another buffer), you should store it at 2–8°C (36–46°F)
Protect from Light: Peptides in solution can degrade when exposed to light, so store them in amber-colored vials or protect them from light using foil or opaque containers.
Stability: Once reconstituted, peptides are typically stable for a few days to a few weeks at 4°C, depending on the sequence and conditions, but freezing is often the safest option for long-term storage.
3. Special Considerations:
Buffer Choice: Ensure the peptide is dissolved in an appropriate buffer to maintain stability. Some peptides may degrade in certain solvents, so it’s essential to choose the right one.
Avoid Contamination: Always handle peptides with clean equipment (e.g., sterile vials, pipettes) to prevent contamination that could affect their stability.
