AOD-9604 5mg

Molecular structure

AOD-9604 is a 16-residue peptide based on the C-terminal region of growth hormone, corresponding to residues 176 through 191 when the added N-terminal tyrosine is included in the conventional 191-residue numbering.

The sequence is commonly represented as YLRIVQCRSVEGSCGF. Its two cysteine residues can form an intramolecular disulfide bond, making the oxidation state and cysteine connectivity important structural features.

This short fragment does not possess the complete structure of full-length growth hormone. A fragment can preserve selected sequence motifs while lacking structural features dependent on the larger protein.

Physicochemical properties

Its charge and solubility depend on ionizable side chains, pH, and terminal chemistry. The cysteine residues can undergo oxidation, and correct disulfide pairing can influence the conformation of the peptide.

Biochemical mechanisms

The compound has been investigated for biochemical properties attributed to its growth hormone-derived sequence. Such proposed activities must be evaluated independently rather than assumed from the identity of the parent protein.

Scientific evidence

Its sequence origin is defined. The exact disulfide connectivity, chemical purity, and molecular identity of a specific preparation require analytical confirmation.
