Mechanism of action

AICAR is a nucleoside that is converted intracellularly to ZMP, an AMP mimetic that directly activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Through AMPK it is studied for effects on glucose uptake (GLUT4 translocation), fatty-acid oxidation, and mitochondrial biogenesis (PGC-1α).

It is a classic exercise-mimetic research tool in metabolic studies. Note: AICAR is a small-molecule nucleoside, not a peptide.
