AOD-9604 is A 16-amino-acid C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone, also known as the “lipolytic fragment”. All ThePeptideCode products are laboratory research use only.

Mechanism & background

AOD-9604 corresponds to residues 177–191 of hGH plus an added N-terminal tyrosine. It was originally investigated for its ability to stimulate lipolysis and inhibit lipogenesis in adipocyte cell-line studies, without the broader growth-related effects of full-length hGH.

Common research applications

Fat-cell metabolism research, comparative lipolytic peptide studies, formulation work alongside CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin.

Reconstitution and storage

AOD-9604 ships as a lyophilised powder in a sealed glass vial. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water following the step-by-step reconstitution guide. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8 °C for short-term use, or aliquot and freeze at −20 °C for longer storage. See the full dosage and storage guide.

Purity and batch verification

Every AOD-9604 batch shipped by ThePeptideCode is verified by an ISO 17025-accredited independent laboratory using HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity). Typical purity is ≥99%. Look up your batch ID on the verification page.
