AOD-9604 [5mg]

Description

Chemical Identity & Molecular Composition

Chemical Name: AOD-9604 (Tyr-hGH fragment 176-191)

Chemical Class: Modified C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (hGH 176-191)

Molecular Formula: C₇₈H₁₂₃N₂₃O₂₃S₂

Molecular Weight: ~1815.1 g/mol

CAS Number: 221231-10-3

Structural Characteristics

AOD-9604 is a synthetic 16-amino acid peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (residues 176-191), with an added tyrosine at the N-terminus. “This modification, combined with a Cys7-Cys15 disulfide bridge, stabilizes the fragment while isolating the lipolytic domain of the parent hormone” from its broader growth-signaling activity.

The product comes as a lyophilized white powder at ≥98% purity (HPLC) and reconstitutes in sterile water. The compound is studied for its capacity to influence fat metabolism without the IGF-1 induction or insulin-sensitivity changes associated with full-length hGH.

Research Applications

Researchers examine this compound for:

•”Lipolytic pathway activation independent of growth hormone receptor signaling”

•Adipose tissue metabolism and fat oxidation mechanisms

•Obesity and metabolic syndrome modeling

•Effects on lipid profiles without IGF-1 or blood glucose modulation

•Cartilage and connective tissue regeneration in emerging studies

Storage & Handling

“Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C, protected from light and moisture.” After reconstituting with sterile water, maintain at 2-8°C and use within 14 days. Do not refreeze after reconstitution.
