AOD9604 5mg

Modified Growth Hormone Fragment for Lipid Metabolism Research

AOD9604 (Anti-Obesity Drug 9604) is a synthetic, modified peptide fragment corresponding to amino acids 177-191 of the human growth hormone (hGH) beta chain, with a tyrosine residue added to the N-terminus for stability (sequence: YLRIVQCRSVEGSCGF). This 16-amino acid peptide was specifically engineered to retain the lipolytic (fat-breaking) and metabolic properties associated with the C-terminus of hGH while eliminating the growth-promoting, insulin resistance, and other potentially undesirable effects of the full hormone. In research settings, AOD9604 serves as a precise tool for investigating the mechanisms of stimulated fat metabolism, enhanced lipid oxidation, and the specific pathways through which growth hormone influences adipose tissue. Supplied as a lyophilized powder, this research compound we intend strictly for controlled, non-human laboratory studies exploring targeted approaches to modulating lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis.

Research Applications & Scientific Utility

In a laboratory setting, AOD9604 enables targeted investigation into the lipolytic actions of growth hormone. Primary research applications include studying the stimulation of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and subsequent triglyceride breakdown in adipocytes, researching increased fat oxidation and energy expenditure in metabolic models, investigating insulin sensitivity effects compared to full-length hGH, exploring potential anti-obesity mechanisms in diet-induced obesity animal models, and examining receptor binding profiles to understand its selectivity for metabolic vs. growth pathways. Researchers utilize this specific fragment to isolate and study the C-terminal region’s role in metabolism, providing insights into designing future selective metabolic modulators without systemic growth effects.

Laboratory Handling & Safety Protocol

• Storage: Store unopened lyophilized peptide vials at -20°C or below for long-term stability. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C and used within a defined experimental timeframe to ensure peptide integrity.

• Reconstitution: Must be performed under sterile laboratory conditions using the provided bacteriostatic water. The peptide is readily soluble. Swirl gently to dissolve.

• Laboratory Safety: Standard personal protective equipment (PPE) including lab coat, nitrile gloves, and safety glasses must be worn. Follow institutional biosafety level (BSL) guidelines for handling biochemical reagents.

• Documentation: The provided CoA should be retained for research records. Given its origin as a modified hGH fragment, precise documentation of the sequence and modification is crucial for scientific rigor.
