About AOD-9604
What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 (CAS 221231-10-3) is a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (hGH 176–191), with an added N-terminal tyrosine. It is used in research on lipid metabolism signalling.
Werhner Lab supplies AOD-9604 as lyophilised powder in 5 mg vials.
CAS: 221231-10-3. Molecular formula: C78H123N23O23S. Molecular weight: ~1815.1 g/mol.
How AOD-9604 is studied in the literature
Papers describe AOD-9604 as a growth-hormone fragment studied separately from the full hormone. The notes below are research background only.
Lipid metabolism models
Used in adipocyte and metabolic models to study lipolysis and lipogenesis signalling, independent of the IGF-1 axis.
Growth-hormone fragment models
Chosen when a design needs a defined hGH C-terminal fragment rather than the full-length hormone.
Research areas
- hGH fragment structure–function studies
- Adipocyte lipid-metabolism models
- Comparison with full-length growth hormone signalling
- Cartilage and connective-tissue cell models
