Research overview
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone corresponding to the C-terminal region (amino acids 176–191) with an added N-terminal tyrosine. It was developed to study the lipid-metabolism activity associated with this region of GH separately from the hormone’s growth-related effects.
Laboratory research focuses on lipolysis and lipogenesis in adipocyte models and on whether the fragment interacts with the GH receptor or acts through other pathways. It is often compared with full-length GH-axis compounds such as tesamorelin to separate metabolic from growth signaling.
Storage and handling
Store the sealed, lyophilized vial at -20°C and away from light. Let the vial reach room temperature before opening so moisture does not condense on the powder, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles once a solution has been prepared.
Testing and documentation
Every lot of AOD-9604 is tested by Bioviridian Labs, an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory in Texas, for HPLC purity, mass spectrometry identity, endotoxin and heavy metals. The lot number on your vial matches its entry in our COA Library, so you can check the results before you order.
