AOD-9604

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of human Growth Hormone (hGH amino acids 177–191), modified with an additional N-terminal tyrosine residue to enhance stability. Formulated as a high-purity lyophilized powder, AOD-9604 is extensively studied in laboratory research settings evaluating lipolytic pathways, lipid metabolism, adipogenesis inhibition, and cartilage repair mechanisms.

Key Product Specifications

Product Highlights & Scientific Context

• Targeted Lipolytic Mechanism: Designed to isolate the fat-metabolizing actions of full-length human growth hormone without interacting with insulin signaling or affecting blood glucose levels in cellular models.

• Modified C-Terminal Fragment: The addition of a terminal tyrosine residue and a disulfide bridge between $\text{Cys}^7$ and $\text{Cys}^{14}$ increases metabolic stability against enzymatic breakdown.

• Non-Diabetogenic Profile: In vitro studies demonstrate that AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis without inducing IGF-1 elevation or altered insulin sensitivity.

• Vacuum Lyophilized: Sealed under nitrogen in glass vials to preserve peptide structure and maximize storage life.

Storage & Handling Guidelines

• Lyophilized Powder: Store at -20°C or -80°C protected from light and moisture for optimal long-term stability. Short-term storage (under 30 days) at 2–8°C.

• Reconstituted Solution: Once reconstituted with sterile Bacteriostatic Water or saline, store at 2°C – 8°C and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
