AOD-9604-5mg
$101.75
AOD9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminus of human growth hormone (hGH), specifically corresponding to amino acids 176-191. Unlike the full-length growth hormone, AOD9604 retains the lipolytic (fat-mobilizing) and anti-lipogenic (fat-inhibiting) properties of hGH, while importantly lacking its proliferative effects (e.g., on glucose levels, IGF-1 production, or cell proliferation). This selective action has made it a significant area of research for metabolic disorders, particularly those related to obesity and fat metabolism, without the broader endocrine impacts associated with intact growth hormone.
Description
Quick Facts
AOD-9604 5mg is a high-purity, lyophilized peptide designed exclusively for laboratory research. Derived from the C-terminal fragment (176-191) of human growth hormone (hGH), this synthetic hexadecapeptide is modified with a tyrosine residue for enhanced stability. AOD-9604 is a powerful tool for scientists investigating lipolysis, metabolic pathways, and potential applications in fat metabolism studies.
Key Features
- Purity: ≥99%, verified through third-party HPLC and MS-UPLC testing.
- Form: Supplied as 5mg lyophilized powder in a 3mL sterile vial.
- Research Applications: Ideal for studying fat breakdown, metabolic health, and cellular signaling without the side effects associated with full-length hGH.
- Storage: Stable at -20°C in lyophilized form; refrigerate at 2-8°C after reconstitution.
Scientific Benefits
AOD-9604 is renowned for its targeted lipolytic properties, stimulating fat breakdown (lipolysis) while inhibiting fat formation (lipogenesis). Unlike hGH, it does not interact with the hGH receptor, avoiding effects on IGF-1 levels or insulin sensitivity. Research in animal models has shown significant reductions in body weight and adipose tissue, with studies reporting up to 50% less weight gain in obese Zucker rats after 19 days of administration. Additionally, AOD-9604 has shown potential in cartilage regeneration and metabolic efficiency, making it a versatile compound for cutting-edge research.
Usage and Handling
- Reconstitution: Use 1mL acetic acid and 2mL bacteriostatic water for optimal dissolution. Add acetic acid slowly to prevent gelling, a natural characteristic of high-purity AOD-9604 that does not affect functionality.
- Administration: For in vitro or animal model studies only. Not for human or veterinary use.
- Storage Instructions: Store lyophilized powder at -20°C, away from light and moisture. After reconstitution, refrigerate and use promptly to maintain integrity.
Safety and Compliance
This product is strictly for laboratory research by qualified professionals. It is not FDA-approved for human consumption, medical, or therapeutic applications. Always handle under aseptic conditions to ensure sterility. Consult relevant safety data sheets and adhere to laboratory protocols.
