AOD-9604

AOD-9604 – Research-Grade Fragment of Human Growth Hormone (hGH 177–191)

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to residues 177–191 of human growth hormone (hGH). Its characterization in peer-reviewed literature, including findings referenced under PubMed ID: 11126354, highlights its fragment-specific biochemical behavior distinct from full-length hGH. In controlled laboratory environments, AOD-9604 is used to explore hGH-derived pathways, fragment-mediated receptor interactions, and metabolic signaling mechanisms.

Unlike full-length hGH, AOD-9604 does not activate the classical growth hormone receptor in vitro. This functional distinction makes it a valuable tool for differentiating receptor dependent and fragment-dependent intracellular signaling pathways. Its structural stability and precision support consistent use in mechanistic assays, metabolic pathway evaluations, and peptide-specific biochemical research.
