AOD-9604: The hGH Fragment 177-191 Lipolytic Peptide

AOD-9604 is an exercise in fragment biology: take a short region of human growth hormone, modify it to shed unwanted activity, and study what the remaining sequence does on its own.

The molecule

AOD-9604 (C₇₈H₁₂₃N₂₃O₂₃S₂, ≈ 1815 g/mol) is a synthetic analog of hGH fragment 177-191 — the C-terminal region of human growth hormone. The analog was modified to remove the diabetogenic activity associated with the full molecule, so that the fragment’s lipolytic signaling can be studied in isolation.

What the research looks at

• Lipolysis and fat metabolism — the dominant thread; how the fragment signals lipid mobilization
• Growth-hormone fragment pharmacology — the broader question of which hGH regions carry which activities
• Metabolic-regulatory signaling — where the fragment sits relative to full-hormone metabolic effects

Handling notes

Lyophilized, reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; the reconstitution calculator handles the math. Store at −20°C lyophilized.
