§ About AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal region associated with human growth hormone research. It is a peptide fragment / analogue and is chemically distinct from intact human growth hormone.
Research findings for full-length growth hormone must not automatically be assigned to AOD-9604 unless the fragment itself was studied. Much of the mechanistic AOD-9604 literature is preclinical (cellular and animal models); findings from those systems do not establish equivalent human outcomes.
PepDirect supplies AOD-9604 exclusively for laboratory research use.
§ AOD-9604 and full-length growth hormone
AOD-9604 is a peptide fragment / analogue derived from a C-terminal region associated with human growth hormone research. It is chemically distinct from intact human growth hormone. Research findings for full-length hGH should not automatically be assigned to AOD-9604, and the fragment does not necessarily act through all of the same receptor mechanisms as intact growth hormone.

§ FAQ
- What is AOD-9604?
- AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region associated with human growth hormone research. It is chemically distinct from intact hGH.
- Is AOD-9604 the same as human growth hormone?
- No. AOD-9604 is a peptide fragment / analogue; it is not intact human growth hormone. Research findings for full-length hGH should not automatically be assigned to AOD-9604.
- What region of hGH is associated with AOD-9604?
- AOD-9604 is derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone associated with lipolytic research literature (commonly described as the 176-191 region).
- What types of research have investigated AOD-9604?
- Reported research areas include adipose-tissue and lipid-metabolism experimental models, lipolysis-related and fat-oxidation animal studies, and comparative research versus intact hGH. Much of this literature is preclinical.
- Does preclinical AOD-9604 evidence establish human effects?
- No. Cellular and animal findings do not automatically establish equivalent human outcomes and should not be represented as such.
- How is PepDirect AOD-9604 tested?
- Every lot is supplied with lot-specific documentation. HPLC purity is reported on the product hero and full identity information is captured in the lot Certificate of Analysis.
- Is this intended for human use?
- No. PepDirect supplies AOD-9604 as a laboratory research product only. It is not marketed as a medicine, food supplement or product for human or veterinary use.
- How is PepDirect AOD-9604 tested?
- AOD-9604 is tested by HPLC to a purity of ≥ 99.5%. The current lot displayed on this page is TM-2436. A lot-specific Certificate of Analysis is published on the product page before purchase and ships in the box.
- Is this intended for human use?
- No. All PepDirect products are sold strictly for laboratory and research use only, and are not intended for human or veterinary use, consumption, or any clinical or diagnostic application.
