Compound Overview
AOD9604 is a modified 16-amino acid peptide fragment that corresponds to the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (amino acids 176-191). The compound was designed to separate the lipolytic activity associated with hGH from somatotropic effects. Laboratory research has evaluated AOD9604 in relation to beta-3 adrenergic receptor signaling and fat metabolism pathways.
Research Background & Published Literature
AOD9604 was originally developed by Metabolic Pharmaceuticals and studied at Monash University as part of adipose tissue metabolism research. Published investigations have examined lipogenesis inhibition and lipolysis stimulation in adipocyte models. A published regulatory background note states that AOD9604 received GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status from the FDA as a food ingredient in 2011; Nexus does not market this catalog item for food, human, veterinary, or therapeutic use.

Storage, Handling & Stability Guidelines
Use the applicable lot/source record for storage of unopened material. Any diluent selection, preparation, temperature, aliquoting, or post-reconstitution hold conditions must be established by a qualified laboratory under a validated SOP; this page does not establish a stability window.
- Keep ambient-temperature handling time as short as practical to support compound integrity.
- Reseal vials promptly after each withdrawal to limit moisture exposure.
- Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow institutional chemical safety protocols at all times.
- For traceability, label all aliquots with compound name, concentration, reconstitution date, and operator initials.
Quality Assurance & Lab Verification
A finalized public Certificate of Analysis is available for this catalog item. Review the public COA for the applicable lot. Lot-specific identifiers, assay values, and methods are maintained in that record and are not repeated in this product dossier.
Shipping
Orders ship within the United States via USPS; international orders are not accepted. Laboratories should follow their validated SOP together with any handling fields published for the represented product or lot; no universal prepared-solution condition is inferred here.
