Product Overview

AOD 9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug 9604) is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminus of human growth hormone ($\text{hGH}$). Specifically, it encompasses amino acids 177–191 of the naturally occurring $\text{hGH}$ polypeptide chain, with an additional tyrosine residue added at the N-terminal end to stabilize the molecular structure.

In biochemical research, AOD 9604 is heavily investigated for its distinct ability to stimulate lipolysis (the breakdown of lipids/fats) and inhibit lipogenesis (the transformation of non-fat food materials into body fat) in cellular models. Unlike intact growth hormone, this isolated 15-amino acid fragment is engineered to study metabolic pathways without triggering secondary IGF-1 expression, avoiding unwanted effects on insulin resistance or cellular proliferation.

Key Research Applications

• Lipid Metabolism Studies: Investigating the cellular signaling pathways that govern adipocyte (fat cell) degradation and energy expenditure.

• Cartilage and Tissue Repair: Emerging preclinical models are exploring the peptide’s secondary mechanisms concerning proteoglycan synthesis and joint tissue regeneration.

• Growth Hormone Pathway Isolation: Serving as a crucial control or variable in studies isolating the lipolytic effects of $\text{hGH}$ from its systemic anabolic properties.

Uncompromising Quality Control

Every batch of AOD 9604 distributed by Onyx Research undergoes independent, third-party analytical testing to guarantee reproducible experimental results.

• High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): Confirms exact purity profile (guaranteed $\ge 99\%$).

• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Verifies correct sequence identity and precise molecular weight.

• Lyophilization Technology: Vacuum-sealed to ensure optimal structural stability during transport and storage.

Handling & Storage Guidelines

• Form: Lyophilized (freeze-dried) white crystalline powder.

• Reconstitution: For laboratory testing, reconstitute using sterile bacteriostatic water or physiological saline, avoiding vigorous agitation to prevent peptide shear.

• Storage (Lyophilized): Stable at room temperature for up to 4 weeks during transit. Store long-term at $-20^\circ\text{C}$ to preserve peptide integrity for up to 24 months.

• Storage (Reconstituted): Once in solution, store at $2^\circ\text{C}$ to $8^\circ\text{C}$ and utilize within 10 to 14 days. Do not freeze after reconstitution.
