Research context and documentation

Why researchers study it
Studied in vitro as a fragment-based probe for isolating the lipid-metabolism-associated region of human growth hormone from its growth-promoting (GH-receptor-mediated) activity.
Mechanism themes in research
Lipolytic signaling independent of GH-receptor/IGF-1 activationDisulfide-constrained (Cys7–Cys14) fragment stability chemistryStructure-activity mapping of the HGH C-terminal regionAnalytical reference standardization for fragment-peptide identity
What the evidence does not establish
Published references describe research context only. They do not establish safety, efficacy, biological activity, or any outcome in humans or animals, and HELIX BioScience makes no such claims.

AOD9604 is a synthetic 16-residue fragment related to the C-terminal region of human growth hormone. It is supplied as a characterized reference material for in-vitro peptide chemistry, fragment structure–activity work, and lipid-metabolism research. The page is intentionally framed around laboratory evidence and does not provide human-use or dosing guidance.

Identity and fragment design

AOD9604 is commonly described as a modified human growth-hormone fragment corresponding to residues 176–191, with a disulfide-constrained sequence and a reported molecular weight near 1815.1 g/mol. Public records list CAS 221231-10-3 and a molecular formula of C₇₈H₁₂₃N₂₃O₂₃S₂. Researchers should reconcile catalog data with the lot-specific COA, especially when comparing salts, sequence conventions, or analytical reporting formats.

Why fragments are useful

Peptide fragments can help investigators study one structural region without attributing every observation to the full parent protein. AOD9604 is therefore relevant to experiments that separate C-terminal fragment behavior from growth-hormone-receptor and IGF-axis signaling. This is a research design question: the value of a fragment depends on the assay, controls, purity, and whether the experiment can distinguish direct activity from degradation or matrix effects.
