Research overview
AOD9604 is a 16-residue peptide modelled on the tail of human growth hormone, a modified 176-191 fragment with a Cys7-Cys14 disulfide bond. It is studied for lipid-metabolism pathways without the full hormone's activity. Supplied at 2mg as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro laboratory research only.
The C-terminal region of growth hormone has been examined as a fragment that keeps some of the lipid-metabolising activity reported for the hormone while lacking its growth-promoting and glucose-raising effects. In adipocyte culture and preclinical models, AOD9604 has been reported to influence lipolysis and lipogenesis. The signalling route is not fully resolved, and published work suggests it may not depend on the classical growth hormone receptor.
Researchers use it in adipocyte assays that measure glycerol and free fatty acid release, in gene-expression studies of lipid-handling enzymes, and in receptor-binding comparisons with intact growth hormone. It is often studied alongside HGH Frag 176-191 to compare closely related fragments. Disulfide integrity is usually confirmed by mass spectrometry. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder.

Questions
How does AOD9604 differ from HGH Frag 176-191?
Both are based on the C-terminal 176-191 region of human growth hormone. AOD9604 is described as a modified analogue of that fragment with a Cys7-Cys14 disulfide bond, and the two are often compared side by side.
How is AOD9604 supplied and stored?
It is a lyophilised powder in a 2mg vial. Keep it cold, dry and away from light, and reconstitute with a suitable laboratory diluent only when the material is needed.
Is AOD9604 a medicine?
No. It is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not a medicine, food or supplement, and it is not for human or animal use. Buyers must be aged 18 or over.
