5 Amino 1mq

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Direct Heme-Pathway Substrate

Supplies the first committed intermediate for porphyrin and heme production assays—critical for studying erythroid differentiation and cytochrome function.

Enhanced Mitochondrial Respiration

Elevates oxygen-consumption rates in Seahorse and high-resolution respirometry protocols, enabling precise measurement of electron-transport-chain efficiency.

Metabolic-Flux Tracing

Acts as a robust tracer in ¹³C or ¹⁵N labeling experiments, mapping downstream metabolites via LC-MS/MS for comprehensive pathway analysis.

Capsule Convenience

Standardized 30 mg dosing removes micro-weighing variability and cross-contamination risks—perfect for both high-throughput screening and small-scale assays.

Ambient Stability & Shelf Life

Formulated to remain fully active for up to 24 months at room temperature, simplifying storage and inventory management.

Minimal-Excipients Formula

Contains only microcrystalline cellulose, ensuring that assay backgrounds stay clean and data interpretation remains straightforward.

What Is 5-Amino 1mq (5-ALA)?

5-Amino 1mq (commonly referred to as 5-aminolevulinic acid or 5-ALA) is the five-carbon building block that initiates the heme-biosynthesis cascade. In cellular studies, 5-ALA feeds directly into porphyrin synthesis, making it indispensable for researchers modeling hemoglobin production, mitochondrial-driven energy metabolism, and oxidative-stress responses. Delivered as a stable, ready-to-use tablet, 5-Amino 1mq ensures each experiment begins with an exact, reproducible substrate dose.

Why Choose 5-Amino 1mq Tablets?

Laboratories select 5-Amino 1mq tablets when they require accurate, tablet-based dosing that mirrors translational oral-delivery paradigms. The capsule format streamlines protocol setup—no powder handling or balance calibration—while maintaining rigorous quality control. Whether you’re conducting porphyrin-pathway kinetics, tracking mitochondrial oxygen utilization, or performing metabolic-flux analyses, these tablets deliver consistent performance, eliminate prep variability, and accelerate your path to publication-ready data.

What Sets 5-Amino 1mq Apart?

Unlike loose powders that demand precise weighing and risk cross-contamination, 5-Amino 1mq tablets provide pre-measured, uniform doses in an easy-to-administer format. Their GMP-manufactured purity and minimal-excipients formulation offer unmatched consistency across batches. Combined with a 24-month ambient shelf life, this makes 5-Amino 1mq the go-to choice for any lab seeking reliable, high-fidelity substrate delivery for heme, mitochondrial, and metabolic research.

5 Amino 1mq FAQs

What is 5-Amino 1mq used for in research?

To directly feed the heme-biosynthesis pathway, measure mitochondrial respiration, and trace metabolic flux in cellular and animal models.

How much 5-Amino 1mq is in each tablet?

Each capsule contains exactly 30 mg of 5-aminolevulinic acid.

Can I open the 5-Amino 1mq capsules for in vitro use?

Yes—simply empty the contents into culture media or buffer. The powder dissolves rapidly for precise dosing.

What in vitro concentration of 5-Amino 1mq is typical?

Researchers commonly employ 50–200 µM final concentration, adjusted to cell-type sensitivity.

How is 5-Amino 1mq dosed in rodent studies?

Standard protocols use 50–100 mg/kg via oral gavage or supplemented drinking water, per institutional guidelines.

What storage conditions do 5-Amino 1mq tablets require?

Store at 15–25 °C in a cool, dry place. Tablets remain stable for 24 months.

Why choose tablets over powder for 5-ALA dosing?

Tablets ensure consistent 30 mg doses, eliminate weighing errors, and reduce contamination risk in high-throughput and small-batch experiments.

Are there any fillers or binders in 5-Amino 1mq tablets?

Only pharmaceutical-grade microcrystalline cellulose is used, minimizing assay interference.

Is 5-Amino 1mq endotoxin-tested?

The active 5-ALA component is HPLC-verified to ≥ 99% purity; solution applications can be filtered if endotoxin removal is required.

Where can I buy research-grade 5-Amino 1mq tablets?

Real Peptides offers 5-Amino 1mq 30 mg tablets (120 count), USA-manufactured, ≥ 99% purity—strictly for research use only.
