About AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 177–191 of human growth hormone, with an added tyrosine at the N-terminus. It was developed at Monash University in Australia in the 1990s as part of research into the C-terminal region of the growth hormone molecule.
Canada Research Labs supplies AOD-9604 as 5mg of lyophilized powder in a 3 mL glass vial, packed and shipped from Ontario.
See our AOD-9604 research overview.
Research background
The C-terminal region of growth hormone attracted research interest because it appeared to be involved in lipid metabolism signaling separately from the rest of the molecule. AOD-9604 was designed to study that region in isolation.
Heffernan and colleagues (Endocrinology, 2001) compared AOD-9604 with full-length growth hormone in mouse models of lipid metabolism, including lipolysis and lipogenesis in adipose tissue. Most published work on AOD-9604 is preclinical, and researchers should review the primary literature directly.
