Description

BAM15

Product Overview

BAM15 is a synthetic small-molecule mitochondrial uncoupler developed for laboratory and scientific research. It is widely studied for its ability to increase mitochondrial energy expenditure by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation without significantly affecting the plasma membrane. Researchers are investigating BAM15 in areas such as obesity, metabolic disorders, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and mitochondrial dysfunction. BAM15 is intended for research purposes only and is not approved for human therapeutic use.

Key Features

  • High-purity research compound
  • Synthetic mitochondrial uncoupler
  • Suitable for laboratory research applications
  • Commonly used in metabolism and bioenergetics studies
