AOD-9604

A synthetic 16-amino-acid fragment corresponding to residues 176–191 of the C-terminus of human growth hormone AOD-9604 is a synthetic fragment of the C-terminus of human growth hormone (HGH), corresponding to amino acids 176–191. It has been examined in preclinical models for interactions with lipolytic signaling pathways distinct from the glycemic and growth-promoting pathways associated with full-length HGH.

What is AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 was developed in the late 1990s at Monash University in Australia. Researchers there were investigating whether a fragment of the growth hormone molecule could retain lipolytic signaling activity in adipocyte models without the glycemic and proliferative effects of the full-length protein.

The team identified that amino acids 176 to 191 of the growth hormone sequence exhibited lipolytic signaling in adipose tissue models without activating insulin or IGF-1-related growth pathways. They designated this fragment AOD-9604.

AOD-9604 has appeared in peer-reviewed preclinical publications examining growth-hormone fragment biology and adipocyte signaling since the early 2000s. This product is intended for research use only.

What is AOD-9604 studied for?

Tissue Regeneration Research
Investigated in preclinical models for its effects on muscle, tendon, and ligament tissue repair mechanisms.

Wound Healing Research
Examined in animal wound models for observations related to tissue closure and ulcer repair pathways.

Anti-inflammatory Research
Studied in laboratory research for interactions with inflammation-related signaling pathways across various tissue types.

Gastrointestinal Research
Evaluated in preclinical GI tissue models for observations related to gastric and intestinal mucosal integrity.

How should AOD-9604 be stored?

All of our products are manufactured using the Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) process, which ensures that our products remain 100% stable for shipping for up to 3-4 months. Once the peptides are reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water), they must be stored in the fridge to maintain stability. After reconstitution, the peptides will remain stable for up to 30 days.

Lyophilised (Unopened)
−20°C for up to 24 months
Reconstitution Solvent
Bacteriostatic water recommended
Reconstituted Solution
2–8°C for up to 28 days
Avoid
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles

Handling Notes

Reconstitute slowly by adding solvent to the side of the vial and allowing it to dissolve without agitation. Do not shake. Store away from direct light. All products are shipped with dry ice or cold packs to maintain cold-chain integrity.

Certificate of Analysis

All AOD-9604 batches are independently tested by a third-party laboratory for purity and identity verification via HPLC with UV detection coupled with Mass Spectrometry.
