AOD 9604
hGH Fragment 176–191
AOD 9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (hGH) corresponding to amino acids 176–191. Studied for its role in lipolysis, fat metabolism regulation, and adipose tissue research without the proliferative effects of full-length hGH.
Research Overview
AOD 9604 (Anti-Obesity Drug 9604) is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminus of human growth hormone, specifically the amino acid sequence 176–191 with a tyrosine residue added at the N-terminus. Unlike full-length hGH, AOD 9604 does not bind to the IGF-1 receptor and does not exhibit mitogenic or proliferative activity, making it a highly selective research tool for studying fat metabolism. Research has demonstrated its ability to stimulate lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibit lipogenesis (fat accumulation) in adipose tissue through mechanisms involving beta-3 adrenergic receptors. It is widely used in metabolic research, obesity biology, and adipose tissue studies.
