Description
Product Name: AOD-9604 Molecular Formula: C78H123N23O23S2 Molar Mass: ~1815.1 g/mol Sequence: Tyr-Leu-Arg-Ile-Val-Gln-Cys-Arg-Ser-Val-Glu-Gly-Ser-Cys-Gly-Phe (Disulfide bridge: Cys7-Cys15)
Product Overview AOD-9604 was developed to identify the specific domain of the Human Growth Hormone molecule responsible for lipid metabolism. It consists of the modified 177-191 amino acid sequence of hGH. Unlike full-length hGH, AOD-9604 does not bind to the high-affinity growth hormone receptor (GHR) implicated in IGF-1 release.Consequently, it presents a unique profile in research, allowing for the study of fat metabolism without influencing blood glucose levels or cell proliferation.
Mechanism of Action AOD-9604 operates through a targeted metabolic pathway:
-
Lipolysis Stimulation: It triggers the release of fat from obese adipose cells.
-
Anti-Lipogenesis: It inhibits the differentiation of pre-adipocytes into mature fat cells and prevents the accumulation of triglycerides.
- Beta-3 Adrenergic Pathway: Evidence suggests it enhances the activity of beta-3 adrenergic receptors, which are critical for thermogenesis and fat oxidation.
-
Cartilage Repair: Recent studies have also indicated that AOD-9604 may potentiate the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into cartilage, suggesting potential applications in osteoarthritis research.
Research Applications AOD-9604 is a primary subject in metabolic and regenerative research, including:
-
Obesity Models: Investigating the reduction of visceral and subcutaneous fat depots in diet-induced obesity models.
-
Metabolic Safety: Studying fat loss agents that do not induce hyperglycemia or insulin resistance (a common side effect of full hGH).
-
Osteoarthritis: Exploring the peptide’s regenerative effects on cartilage tissue and its potential to reduce joint pain and inflammation.
Storage and Handling
-
Storage: Store lyophilized powder at 2-8°C. Protect from light.
-
Stability: Stable for 2 years when stored properly in lyophilized form. Reconstituted solutions should be kept at 4°C and are generally stable for up to 4 weeks, though immediate use is preferred.
