Adipotide 2mg (FTPP) research peptide
Adipotide (also called FTPP or prohibitin-targeting peptide 1) is a peptidomimetic with two parts. A cyclic targeting motif, CKGGRAKDC, binds prohibitin on the blood vessels that supply fat tissue. It is linked to D(KLAKLAK)2, a pro-apoptotic sequence that disrupts mitochondrial membranes. This listing is the 2mg vial.

How Adipotide was designed
Adipotide was developed to test whether fat tissue could be reduced by destroying its blood supply. It was studied in rodent and non-human primate obesity models, where kidney effects were also reported. It did not become an approved medicine and is supplied here only as a research reagent.
