A Growth-Hormone Fragment
Human growth hormone is a 191-residue protein. Fragments from its C-terminal region were synthesized to study whether parts of its activity could be separated from the whole molecule. AOD9604 is one such fragment, with a tyrosine added at the N-terminus.
Research Areas
- Lipid metabolism in adipocyte cultures
- Structure-activity work on GH fragments
It is supplied with MOTS-c and GLP-3 (R) in the GLP-3 (R) + MOTS-c + AOD9604 metabolic research bundle.
Storage of the Sealed Vial
