Description

Fragment 176-191 is a synthetic peptide consisting of the last 16 amino acids of the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (hGH), corresponding to positions 176 through 191 of the native sequence. It is closely related to AOD-9604 but lacks the additional N-terminal tyrosine residue. Research has focused on its role in lipid metabolism regulation, particularly lipolytic activity in adipose tissue and its effects on fat oxidation pathways. Studies have examined its metabolic properties in the context of energy homeostasis and body composition research. It is supplied in lyophilised form for research purposes.
