What is AOD-9604 and what is Cagrilintide?
AOD-9604 is classified as Modified human growth hormone fragment; Cagrilintide as Long-acting amylin analog peptide. Both profiles below cover scientific identity only — what the molecule is and which laboratory models it appears in. Verve supplies both strictly as in-vitro reference materials, and neither profile describes human or veterinary use.
AOD-9604
Modified human growth hormone fragment
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal 176–191 fragment of human growth hormone, modified by the addition of a tyrosine residue at the N-terminus to improve stability. Unlike the full-length hormone, the fragment lacks the regions associated with growth-hormone receptor binding, which is what makes it useful as a dissociated structural probe in research.

Long-acting amylin analog peptide
Cagrilintide is a synthetic long-acting analog of amylin, the pancreatic peptide co-secreted with insulin from beta cells. Its sequence is engineered for solubility and resistance to aggregation, and it carries a fatty-acid side chain that extends circulating half-life in pre-clinical systems, giving researchers a stable tool compound where native amylin is notoriously difficult to work with.
