Description
Adipotide, also known as FTPP (Fat-Targeted Proapoptotic Peptide), is an experimental peptidomimetic engineered for high-precision research. Its unique molecular architecture consists of a homing sequence (CKGGRAKDC) and a proapoptotic sequence (D(KLAKLAK)₂). This dual-domain design allows the peptide to target the vascular endothelium of white adipose tissue specifically.
The mechanism of action involves binding to prohibitin and annexine A2 receptors on the blood vessels of fat tissue. Upon internalization, the proapoptotic sequence disrupts mitochondrial membranes, triggering programmed cell death in targeted endothelial cells. This makes Adipotide a powerful tool for studying metabolic changes, glucose tolerance, and anti-angiogenic properties.
In laboratory settings, research has demonstrated that Adipotide can influence weight and fat mass reduction through its targeted interaction with adipose vasculature. Its ability to influence metabolic pathways makes it a significant subject for research into insulin sensitivity and oxidative phosphorylation.
Key Research Features:
- Selective Targeting: High affinity for prohibitin-expressing endothelial cells in white adipose tissue.
- Dual-Domain Design: Combines a targeting sequence with a proapoptotic domain.
- Research Utility: Ideal for studying glucose tolerance and metabolic regulation.
- High Purity: Supplied as a research-grade lyophilized powder at >99% purity.

FAQ
What is the molecular weight of Adipotide?
The molecular weight for this compound is 2611.41 g/mol.
How should this product be stored?
For long-term stability, the lyophilized powder should be stored at -80°C. Short-term storage at -20°C is acceptable. Once reconstituted, it should be stored at 2-8°C and used within a few weeks.
Is this product suitable for purity testing?
Yes, the product is supplied as a research-grade lyophilized powder with a purity level exceeding 99%.
What are the storage precautions?
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. For lyophilized powder, it is recommended to warm the vial to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture adsorption.
