C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone studied in fat-metabolism research.
About HGH Fragment 176-191
HGH Fragment 176-191 is the C-terminal 16-amino-acid fragment of human growth hormone, isolated and studied for the lipid-metabolism region of the hormone. It is a common reference peptide in adipose-tissue research. TagPep is adding it as a research-use-only reference material.
Mechanism studied in research
Represents the fat-metabolism-associated domain of GH; studied in adipocyte models for lipolytic activity distinct from GH's growth-signaling regions.
Areas of research investigation
- Adipose-tissue research
- Lipolysis assays
- GH structure-function mapping
- Comparative fragment studies
Laboratory handling
Lyophilized; research reconstitution with bacteriostatic or sterile water, refrigerated solution storage, frozen light-protected powder.
HGH Fragment 176-191 research FAQ
What part of growth hormone is fragment 176-191?
It is the last 16 residues (176–191) of the human growth-hormone chain — the region studied for lipid metabolism in research models.
Is fragment 176-191 the same as AOD-9604?
They are closely related: AOD-9604 is a stabilized, modified version of the 176-191 fragment. Both are studied in lipid-metabolism research.
