CJC-1295 (No DAC) is a synthetic peptide analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), specifically a modified fragment of GHRH(1-29) . Unlike the DAC-conjugated version, this formulation does not contain a Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) moiety, resulting in a significantly shorter half-life in circulation .
Key Specifications:
CAS Number: 446036-97-1 (some sources list 863288-34-0)
Synonyms: Modified GRF (1-29), CJC-1295-no DAC, GHRH (1-29)-NH2, GRF 1-29
Molecular Formula: C₁₅₂H₂₅₂N₄₄O₄₂
Molecular Weight: 3367.9 Da
Purity: ≥98% (research grade)
Appearance: White lyophilized powder
Storage: Store at -20°C; protect from light and moisture
Mechanism of Action:
CJC-1295 binds to GHRH receptors in the anterior pituitary gland, stimulating the secretion of growth hormone (GH) . Key features include:
Resists enzymatic degradation compared to endogenous GHRH, prolonging its activity
Increases GH secretion in primary rat anterior pituitary cells at picomolar to micromolar concentrations
Stimulates pulsatile GH release, mimicking natural GH secretion patterns
Elevates IGF-1 levels downstream of GH stimulation
Key Research Applications:
| Category | Applications |
|---|---|
| Growth Hormone Research | GH pulse amplitude, somatotroph function, IGF-1 axis studies |
| Muscle & Metabolism | Protein synthesis, lean mass, lipolysis, metabolic regulation |
| Anti-Aging Research | Age-related GH decline, body composition, tissue regeneration |
| Tissue Repair | Collagen synthesis, connective tissue healing, recovery models |
| Cognitive Research | Emerging studies on GH/IGF-1 and neuroprotection, synaptogenesis |
