HGH Fragment 176-191

Description

Overview

HGH Fragment 176-191 is a synthetic piece of the human growth hormone (hGH) molecule, specifically the C-terminal region (amino acids 176 to 191). This fragment has been studied in preclinical research for its targeted fat-metabolism effects while avoiding many of the broad systemic actions of full-length hGH.

Researchers use this fragment to explore fat-breakdown (lipolysis), reduced fat storage (antilipogenesis), cartilage repair, and metabolic signaling without inducing the growth-stimulating effects typical of full hGH.

Research Applications

• Fat-Metabolism & Lipolysis Studies: Applied in models examining the effect of this fragment on fat cell breakdown, adipocyte signaling, and energy expenditure.
• Metabolic Regulation: Utilized in research of how the fragment modulates insulin sensitivity, glucose balance, and adipose tissue biology.
• Cartilage & Tissue Repair Research: Explored for its potential in cartilage regeneration and connective tissue repair in preclinical models.
• Peptide-Receptor Design & Mechanism Studies: Serves as a model for how truncated growth-hormone fragments can target specific pathways with reduced off-target anabolic effects.

Usage & Safety

This product is intended for laboratory research use only. It is not approved for human or veterinary use, and must not be used for diagnostic, therapeutic or cosmetic applications. Researchers must handle with appropriate lab safety procedures and store under recommended peptide storage conditions (e.g., protected from moisture/light, typically frozen dry until use).
