02Mechanism of Action
AOD-9604 is a synthetic modified fragment of human growth hormone corresponding to the C-terminal residues 176-191 with a tyrosine modification. Research focuses on its lipolytic activity and effects on fat metabolism.
A distinguishing research property is that it is studied for metabolic effects without IGF-1 receptor activation or the growth-promoting effects of full-length hGH.

05FAQ
What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a modified hGH(176-191) fragment studied for lipolytic and fat-metabolism pathways in research models, without IGF-1 activation. It is a research-use-only compound.
Does AOD-9604 affect IGF-1?
In research models AOD-9604 is studied for fat-metabolism effects without IGF-1 receptor activation, distinguishing it from full-length growth hormone.
What is AOD-9604\u2019s molecular weight?
AOD-9604 has an approximate molecular weight of 1,815.1 g/mol and CAS number 221231-10-3.
How should AOD-9604 be stored?
AOD-9604 ships lyophilized and should be handled per standard research-peptide practice — kept cold, protected from light and moisture, and reconstituted only for laboratory use. Cold-chain handling is used where required. For research use only.
Is AOD-9604 approved for human use?
No. AOD-9604 is sold strictly for laboratory research use only and is not a drug or supplement. It is not approved for human or veterinary use or consumption.
How is AOD-9604 tested at Ethos Bio?
Every AOD-9604 lot is independently verified by MZ Biolabs, a third-party analytical laboratory in Arizona, on a five-point panel — RP-HPLC purity, HPLC-MS identity, endotoxin (LAL), heavy metals, and sterility. A lot-specific certificate of analysis ships with the vial. See How We Test for the full methodology.
