AOD9604 (AOD-9604) is a modified human growth hormone fragment supplied as a lyophilized reagent for in-vitro laboratory research. Choose the required vial size, check its current price and read the corresponding published report in the batch verification panel above. For the difference from HGH Fragment 176–191 and what the animal and human studies actually found, see the AOD9604 identity and research evidence guide.
Compound Overview
AOD9604 contains 16 amino-acid residues: an N-terminal tyrosine followed by residues 177–191 of human growth hormone. It should not be identified simply as native HGH Fragment 176–191, which has a different residue at that position. The identity and metabolism study by Cox et al. (2015) describes this sequence distinction. A shared fragment label does not establish that two materials are interchangeable.
Research Background & Published Literature
Published AOD9604 work includes metabolic studies in obese rats and mice. Ng et al. examined body-weight gain and metabolic endpoints in obese Zucker rats; Heffernan et al. examined lipid metabolism in obese and beta-3-adrenoceptor knockout mice. These animal results do not establish a human weight-loss benefit for this research vial. The linked research guide separates the animal findings and later human trials, and explains why food-use GRAS discussion does not establish drug approval.
These primary papers provide the original model and endpoint context:
- Heffernan et al. (2001) — AOD9604 lipid metabolism in mouse models
- Ng et al. (2000) — AOD9604 metabolic studies in obese Zucker rats

Storage, Handling & Stability Guidelines
Use the applicable lot label, supporting documentation and your laboratory’s validated procedure to set dry-material storage, solvent choice and prepared-solution conditions. Peptide length alone does not establish stability, and this page does not establish a universal refrigerated shelf life after preparation.
- Check material identity and lot before preparation; document the solvent, concentration, conditions and preparation date required by the method.
- Label prepared material and aliquots so each can be traced to its lot and laboratory record.
- Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow your institution’s chemical safety procedures.
Quality Assurance & Analytical Verification
The batch verification panel links published configuration reports issued by Apex Laboratory. Match the vial size and report identity, then read each method and result: HPLC detector-area percentage, mass-spectrometric identity and measured content answer different questions. A published configuration report does not by itself identify the lot assigned to a future shipment. Use the COA library for the report record and contact support if the material label or required documentation cannot be matched.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is AOD9604 related to human growth hormone?
AOD9604 is a 16-residue modified fragment: tyrosine followed by hGH residues 177–191. Native HGH Fragment 176–191 starts with phenylalanine instead. They should not be treated as the same sequence, and their fragment relationship does not establish the same biological effects as intact growth hormone.
What is the CAS number of AOD9604?
The catalogued CAS number is 221231-10-3. Approximately 1815.08 g/mol is the parent-peptide reference mass, not a measured amount in the vial. Confirm the assigned material form and content basis in the applicable report.
Is this product approved for human use?
No. All compounds sold by Apex Laboratory are classified as chemical research reagents intended strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. They are not approved for human consumption, veterinary use, or any therapeutic application. Purchasers who imply intended bodily use will have their orders cancelled and accounts permanently suspended.
What documentation is available for this compound?
Published configuration reports are linked in the panel above and in the Lab Verified archive. Check the issuing laboratory, report ID, lot, vial size, methods and results. A published report is not proof of which lot will ship; use the contact page for a specific lot or documentation question.
Is bulk ordering available?
Yes. For bulk quantities, custom packaging requirements, or recurring supply agreements, contact our team with the compound name, desired quantity, preferred vial size or packaging, and your target delivery timeline. Volume pricing is available for qualifying orders.
