Important Notice
This product is intended for laboratory and research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. By purchasing, you confirm this product will be used exclusively for in-vitro research purposes.
Reconstitution Required
This peptide ships lyophilized (dry powder) and requires bacteriostatic water to reconstitute before use. BAC water is sold separately.
When This Product May Not Suit Your Research
- ⚠If your research requires GMP-grade material for clinical applications — research-grade peptides are not intended for clinical use.
- ⚠If your lab lacks proper cold storage (-20°C freezer) — this peptide's stability may be compromised at higher temperatures.
- ⚠If your study protocol requires FDA-approved reference standards — contact USP or a certified reference material provider.
Published laboratory reports are available for selected lots. Check each report for its result and stated method. For research purposes only.

About AOD-9604
About AOD-9604
What is AOD-9604?
Take human growth hormone. Cut it down to just amino acids 177-191. Stick a tyrosine on the N-terminus. What you get is a fragment that retained HGH lipid metabolism signaling activity and lost everything else — no growth effects, no IGF-1 elevation, no glucose impairment. Monash University in Australia spent years characterizing this, and the selectivity is genuinely interesting.
CAS: 221231-10-3. The idea that you can surgically extract one function from a large hormone by identifying the right fragment has broader implications for peptide pharmacology.
Mechanism of Action
What it does and does not do
Does: modulate lipid metabolism signaling via beta-3 adrenergic pathways in adipose tissue. Modulate lipogenesis pathways (de novo lipid synthesis signaling). Influence fatty acid oxidation pathway signaling.
Does not: bind the growth hormone receptor. Stimulate IGF-1. Promote tissue growth. Impair glucose tolerance. That last point is important — full-length HGH tends to cause insulin resistance at higher doses. AOD-9604 does not.
Research Overview
There is also emerging cartilage data. Chondrocyte proliferation effects have been reported, which is an unexpected finding for a lipid metabolism signaling fragment.
Research context
Adipose tissue signaling research. Body composition endpoint research without GH axis confounding. Oral bioavailability studies (one of few peptides with published oral delivery data). Cartilage and osteoarthritis models. Comparative work against HGH Fragment 176-191 (the unmodified native sequence).
