Description
Adipotide (FTPP) is a synthetic peptide construct combining a vascular-homing domain (sequence CKGGRAKDC, targeting prohibitin on the surface of white adipose tissue vasculature) with a pro-apoptotic domain, joined through a branched lysine linker. Because of this multi-domain, branched structure, Adipotide is not typically described by a single simple molecular formula; its molecular weight is approximately 2,500-2,600 g/mol depending on linker chemistry. CAS 859216-15-2.
Preclinical research on Adipotide has examined prohibitin-targeted induction of apoptosis in vascular endothelial cells supplying white adipose tissue, and subsequent vascular regression within adipose tissue depots in animal models.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution, each batch is analyzed by HPLC to confirm purity and identity.
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use, and not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic application.
