β3-Adrenoceptor
Also known as Beta-3 Adrenergic Receptor · ADRB3
A receptor on fat cells whose activation triggers lipolysis — the target of peptides like AOD-9604.
Definition
The β3-adrenoceptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed mainly on adipocytes. Activation increases intracellular cyclic AMP, which triggers hormone-sensitive lipase and drives the breakdown of stored triglycerides into free fatty acids. This receptor is the primary molecular target of AOD-9604 and several investigational metabolic therapies.

Lipolysis
The biological breakdown of stored fat into free fatty acids — the mechanism targeted by AOD-9604 and Tesamorelin.
PeptideAOD-9604AOD9604
A modified fragment of human growth hormone (amino acids 177–191) that stimulates fat metabolism without affecting blood glucose or IGF-1.
Clinical ConceptAdipose Tissue
Fat tissue — composed of adipocytes storing triglycerides, plus immune and vascular cells — the target of lipolytic peptides.
