What is Adipotide?

Adipotide (also known as FTPP or Prohibitin-Targeting Peptide 1) is a synthetic peptidomimetic designed to induce targeted apoptosis of white adipose tissue vasculature. It works by binding to prohibitin receptors on the surface of fat-cell blood vessels, effectively disrupting nutrient supply to adipocytes and promoting fat cell resorption through natural metabolic clearance. Originally studied for obesity and metabolic disorders, Adipotide represents a novel vascular-targeted approach to fat reduction and metabolic optimization.

FAQ

How much is in each vial?

Each vial contains precisely the amount indicated on the label. For instance, a 10mg vial includes precisely 10mg of lyophilized peptide. Researchers may divide it into smaller fractions, such as four 2.5mg portions, while the total amount remains 10mg.

Does it come with instructions?

USA Peptides Direct products are designated for in vitro research. Prior to working with them, conduct thorough research. Our team will offer general assistance via text post-purchase.

What other supplies are needed?

Peptides come as lyophilized powder. They are not reconstituted, and any necessary bacteriostatic water or syringes must be obtained separately for research purposes.

How long does a vial last?

Peptides remain stable for up to 2 years in lyophilized powder form. After reconstitution, refrigerate and expect stability for about 2 months.

Is Adipotide a natural peptide?

No. Adipotide is a synthetic peptidomimetic composed of a targeting domain (CKGGRAKDC) linked to a pro-apoptotic domain (KLAKLAKKLAKLAK). It was engineered to selectively bind to prohibitin receptors expressed in adipose tissue vasculature.

How should I reconstitute it?

Use sterile, room-temperature water for injection (WFI) or a neutral buffer. Gently invert to dissolve completely. Avoid vigorous shaking or repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

What concentration is recommended for in-vitro research?

Adipotide has been studied in concentrations ranging from 1–50 μM, depending on assay type and cell line. It is commonly used in research on adipocyte biology, angiogenesis, and metabolic regulation.

Which pathways are most relevant for Adipotide studies?

Primary research focuses on the prohibitin-mediated vascular apoptosis, AMPK activation, and lipid oxidation pathways in adipose and hepatic models.
