AOD-9604

A synthetic growth-hormone C-terminal fragment peptide that appears in metabolic and adipose research literature.

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to a fragment of the C-terminal region of human growth hormone. As a research material it is handled as a defined short peptide fragment and has been the subject of research examining metabolic and adipose-tissue pathways. This page is background about the molecule and is not medical guidance or intended for human use.

Classification and structure

AOD-9604 is classified as a peptide fragment, structurally a short chain modeled on the C-terminal segment of the human growth hormone sequence with a modification at its terminus. It does not reproduce the full hormone. It is supplied strictly as a research material.

Areas of research

In the published literature, AOD-9604 appears most often in the following research areas.

• Adipose-tissue research — Investigated in metabolic models examining adipose-tissue pathways.
• Lipid-metabolism models — Appears in the literature on lipid-handling research models.
• Growth-hormone fragment research — Studied as a defined fragment in peptide chemistry and metabolic research.

As always in this library, describing a compound as “studied in” an area is a statement about where scientific attention has gone — not a claim that it produces any result in humans or animals.

Handling and verification

Lyophilized AOD-9604 is generally kept cold and dry until reconstitution in the laboratory setting. Every in-stock lot ships with a third-party certificate of analysis that can be verified by its lot number.
