AOD-9604 Peptide 6mg Overview
AOD-9604 Peptide 6mg from Peptide Science is the 16-amino-acid C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (hGH residues 177 to 191), supplied as a lyophilised vial for in-vitro lipolytic-pathway and preclinical adipose-tissue research. The molecule is sometimes designated “anti-obesity drug 9604” in the literature, reflecting its original characterisation as the lipolytic domain of the parent 191-residue hGH protein with the somatotropic activity removed by truncation.
Mechanism in Adipose Research
AOD-9604 corresponds to hGH residues 177 to 191 with an additional N-terminal tyrosine for stability, giving a 16-amino-acid peptide. Preclinical research has characterised the fragment for lipolytic activity in cultured adipocytes via beta-3 adrenergic-receptor-adjacent pathways, without measurable IGF-1 or GH-axis signalling because the full hGH receptor-binding domain is absent. The compound is studied as a research tool for separating the lipolytic from the somatotropic actions of the parent hGH protein. Browse the broader metabolic peptide research range for context.
