Adipotide Research Compound
Research Use Only
This product is intended for laboratory research purposes only. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, food, cosmetic, household, or agricultural applications. Not for human consumption.
Overview
Adipotide (FTPP - Fat-Targeted Pro-apoptotic Peptide) is a peptidomimetic compound designed to target prohibitin, a protein expressed on the surface of blood vessels supplying white adipose tissue. By targeting the adipose vasculature, adipotide represents a unique approach to obesity research distinct from metabolic hormone pathways.
Mechanism of Action
Adipotide targets adipose tissue through vascular mechanisms:
- Binds to prohibitin on adipose blood vessels
- Induces apoptosis in vascular endothelial cells
- Reduces blood supply to white adipose tissue
- Selective targeting of fat tissue vasculature
Research Applications
- Adipose vascular biology
- Targeted peptide delivery studies
- Prohibitin receptor research
- Alternative obesity mechanism studies
Handling & Storage
- Store lyophilized peptide at -20C
- Protect from light and moisture
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water
- Reconstituted solution stable at 2-8C for up to 2 weeks
