AICAR
Research Peptide | Lyophilized Powder | Batch Tested
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or animal consumption. Insulated shipping · Styrofoam box available.
Product Overview
AICAR (AICA ribonucleotide) is a nucleotide analog of AMP and a classic pharmacological activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the cell's central energy sensor. Because it mimics the low-energy signal that AMPK responds to, it is a foundational tool compound in metabolic and "exercise-mimetic" research.

SKU & packaging
Nominal sizes describe the product label; measured results are listed in each batch report. Published reports do not confirm the batch allocated to a future order.
Product & documentation questions
How do I read the size and pack quantity?
The per-vial size and number of vials per pack are listed separately in the table. The displayed price is for one pack. A blend’s stated size can describe combined ingredients; check its product label and report for individual components.
How do I find the matching COA?
Match the product, SKU and batch number with the published report. Open the batch page to read the actual results, original report and laboratory verification link. Ask support to confirm the allocated batch if it is not on your order.
Does a purity result mean every test passed?
No. Identity, purity, fill and endotoxin are separate measurements. Read each reported result and unit. An absent result is not a pass, and a less-than result is not zero.
Research Information
AICAR is used to activate AMPK and study cellular energy sensing, glucose uptake, fatty-acid oxidation and the transcriptional program associated with endurance adaptation in muscle-cell and animal models. Researchers use it to dissect AMPK-dependent versus AMPK-independent metabolic responses. Supplied strictly for in-vitro and laboratory research use only — not for human or animal consumption.
