AOD-9604 Structure vs Full-Length hGH

By: Mindful Research Team1 min read

Key takeaways

  • AOD-9604 reproduces only the 176-191 C-terminal fragment of hGH.
  • Full-length hGH is a 191-amino-acid folded protein.
  • AOD-9604 is a short peptide of the final 16 residues, with a modification.
  • Isolating the fragment makes it a simpler, distinct research tool.
  • For in vitro research use only.

AOD-9604 reproduces only the 176-191 C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone, making it a short, defined peptide rather than the large full-length hGH protein. This guide compares the two.

Full-length hGH

Human growth hormone is a 191-amino-acid protein with a complex folded structure and many receptor interactions.

The 176-191 fragment

AOD-9604 corresponds to the final 16 residues (176-191) of hGH, with a modification. Isolating this short region is what makes it a distinct, simpler research tool.
