AOD-9604 is a synthetic 16-residue analogue of the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone, corresponding to residues 177-191 with an additional N-terminal tyrosine.
AOD-9604 is a synthetic 16-residue analogue of the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone, corresponding to residues 177-191 with an additional N-terminal tyrosine.
It retains the intramolecular disulfide bridge of the parent fragment, between the cysteine residues at positions 7 and 14, and that bridge is essential to the molecule's conformation.
As with all disulfide-containing sequences in the catalogue, reducing agents are incompatible - DTT, TCEP and beta-mercaptoethanol will open the ring and destroy the structure.

Vials arrive lyophilized and sealed under nitrogen. Bring the vial fully to room temperature before breaking the seal — opening a cold vial condenses atmospheric moisture onto the cake.
Direct diluent gently against the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the cake, and allow the material to dissolve without agitation. Vortexing shears longer sequences and introduces air.
Lyophilized: -20 C, desiccated. Reconstituted: 2-8 C, use within 30 days.
