What is AOD-9604? hGH-fragment research
AOD-9604 Research Overview
AOD-9604 is a modified C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone discussed in adipocyte lipolysis models. This site has no AOD-9604 catalog vial.
This page provides laboratory-focused information for AOD-9604. Content is intended for research use only and should be read with the published documentation and analytical data.

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide based on the C-terminal region of human growth hormone, commonly described as a modified fragment of residues 177–191. Laboratories have used it as a probe in adipocyte and lipid-mobilization models. There is no AOD-9604 shop SKU on this site. This page does not offer a vial, a price, or a certificate.
Structure
Research descriptions of AOD-9604 usually note:
Origin as a short fragment of growth hormone rather than the full hormone
An added N-terminal tyrosine in the version discussed in many papers, which distinguishes it from the unmodified 177–191 fragment
A different sequence from secretagogue peptides such as CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin, which act at other receptors
No lot identity on this website, because the compound is not in the catalog
Do not infer a Certificate of Analysis, a milligram size, or a stock status. None is published here.
Mechanisms discussed in research settings
Papers place the fragment in metabolic models, including:
Adipocyte lipolysis assays that measure glycerol or fatty-acid release in vitro
Comparisons with intact growth hormone, which has a much broader receptor pharmacology
Discussions that separate this fragment from incretin peptides covered in GLP-1 peptide research in 2026
Neighboring growth-factor notes such as What is IGF-1 LR3? Receptor-model note, which describe a different receptor system
Lipolysis in a cell assay is not evidence about adipose tissue in a person. This article does not provide a research protocol for human use.
What this guide is not
It is not a catalog page. Secretagogue and incretin SKUs that *are* stocked live under Metabolic Research Peptides, Canada. The muscle-biology lab note groups published models; it is not an AOD-9604 listing.
