AOD9604 — molecular reference
AOD9604 is a modified 16-amino-acid fragment corresponding to the C-terminal region (176–191) of human growth hormone, with an added N-terminal tyrosine. Unlike full-length hGH, it retains the fragment's lipolytic activity without the growth-promoting or insulin-antagonist properties, making it a common tool compound in cultured adipocyte lipolysis, fatty-acid oxidation, and β3-adrenergic pathway studies. Supplied as a sterile lyophilized powder. Research use only.
