AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment comprising amino acids 177–191 of human growth hormone (hGH), with an additional N-terminal tyrosine residue for UV detection and stability. It is derived from the lipolytic domain of hGH and has been studied in preclinical research for its interaction with metabolic and adipocyte biology pathways. Heartland Bio Labs supplies AOD-9604 as a lyophilized research compound of verified purity.

AOD-9604 has been investigated in in vitro and in vivo preclinical models examining adipocyte biology and lipid signaling, and metabolic receptor pharmacology. Research has characterized its ability to stimulate lipolytic signaling in adipocyte cell models without measurable interaction with the IGF-1 axis — a property that distinguishes its research profile from full-length hGH. Published studies have also examined its cartilage and bone biology applications in animal models.

Handling Information
Handle AOD-9604 under standard laboratory conditions with appropriate PPE. Reconstitute carefully and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This compound is intended for qualified research use only.
Storage Requirements
- Long-term (lyophilized): Store at -20°C, protected from light and moisture
- Short-term (reconstituted): Store at 4°C; use within 28 days
- Keep in original sealed vial until point of use
How should I store this peptide?+
Lyophilized peptides should be stored at −20°C in a dry, light-protected environment. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 4-8 weeks depending on the compound.
What should I reconstitute it with?+
Bacteriostatic water or sterile water for research use. We recommend our companion BAC Water for consistency. Specific reconstitution volume depends on your research protocol — refer to the Specifications tab for solubility data.
How quickly do orders ship?+
Orders confirmed before 2:00 PM CT ship the same business day from our facility in Tulsa, OK. Standard US transit is 2-5 business days. Tracking provided at shipment.
Is the COA verified independently?+
Yes. Every product is tested by HPLC for purity (target COA-verified purity) and mass spectrometry for molecular identity before release. The COA is generated from the actual test data, not a generic template.
Can I get bulk or institutional pricing?+
Yes — qualified research facilities and high-volume orders receive tiered pricing. Contact us with your institution information and target quantities.
