Overview

Growth hormone is released in pulses, and researchers have long sought signals that extend those pulses without erasing their rhythm. CJC-1295 DAC is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) built on the modified GRF(1-29) sequence and fitted with a Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) — a maleimidopropionyl group that binds covalently to circulating serum albumin. This albumin-binding feature is what sets the DAC version apart, dramatically extending its circulating half-life relative to non-DAC GHRH analogs and making it a key tool for studying sustained GH/IGF-1 axis stimulation.

An albumin anchor for a short-lived hormone. Native GHRH is cleared within minutes. By bioconjugating the GRF(1-29) peptide to albumin via the DAC linker, CJC-1295 DAC resists degradation and remains available far longer, the foundational principle demonstrated when hGRF(1-29)-albumin bioconjugates were shown to activate the GRF receptor (Jetté et al., 2005). This long-acting design lets researchers examine prolonged versus pulsatile GHRH signaling.

What the research explores. The literature characterizes the compound's endocrine pharmacology:

  • GH/IGF-1 axis activation — studies report that CJC-1295 raises serum GH and IGF-1 and induces changes in serum protein profiles in animal models (Sackmann-Sala et al., 2009).
  • Pulsatility under continuous stimulation — research shows GH secretion can remain pulsatile during sustained CJC-1295 exposure (Ionescu et al., 2006).
  • Duration of secretion — work documents prolonged stimulation of GH and IGF-1 secretion (Teichman et al., 2006).
  • Analytical detection — methods have been developed to identify CJC-1295 in pharmaceutical and biological samples (Henninge et al., 2010).

These findings derive from animal models, analytical chemistry, and early clinical research describing biological activity; they do not establish human safety or efficacy. Full citations are listed under the Scientific References tab.

FAQ

CJC-1295 DAC is a synthetic long-acting analogue of growth-hormone-releasing factor: the Modified GRF (1-29) sequence joined to a Drug Affinity Complex (DAC), a maleimidopropionyl group that binds circulating albumin to greatly extend its duration in research models. Condor Research supplies it as a 10 mg lyophilized vial at ≥99% HPLC purity, for in-vitro laboratory use only.

The difference is the Drug Affinity Complex. CJC-1295 DAC carries an albumin-binding DAC moiety that markedly extends its half-life, while CJC-1295 no DAC (Modified GRF 1-29) lacks it and is much shorter-acting. The DAC version is also heavier (MW ~3647 vs ~3368). Condor Research offers each as a separate ≥99% HPLC, research-use-only reference compound.

Yes. The DAC version binds albumin to provide sustained, long-acting GHRH-analogue activity in research models, whereas the no-DAC version (Modified GRF 1-29) is short-acting and clears quickly. Researchers studying prolonged signalling pick the DAC form; those needing pulsatile, short-lived exposure choose no-DAC. Both are research-use-only reference compounds, supplied at ≥99% HPLC purity with batch COAs.

The added mass comes from the Drug Affinity Complex — the lysine-linked maleimidopropionyl group that lets CJC-1295 DAC bind albumin. This roughly 280-dalton addition accounts for the higher molecular weight versus CJC-1295 no DAC (Modified GRF 1-29). The acylated mass is confirmed by mass spectrometry on each lot. Both are research-use-only reference materials.

In research models, the albumin-binding DAC gives CJC-1295 DAC a long, sustained profile rather than the short, pulsatile exposure characteristic of CJC-1295 no DAC (Modified GRF 1-29). Researchers studying preserved pulsatility typically favor the no-DAC form. This describes in-vitro research pharmacology only; Condor Research provides no human-use guidance, dosing, or protocols.

CJC-1295 DAC is engineered for a long, sustained profile through albumin binding, whereas Sermorelin is the bare GRF(1-29) fragment with a very short half-life. Both are GHRH analogues, but the DAC moiety makes CJC-1295 DAC far longer-acting in research models. Condor Research supplies each as a separate ≥99% HPLC, research-use-only reference compound.

CJC-1295 DAC achieves its extended duration through an albumin-binding Drug Affinity Complex on a Modified GRF (1-29) backbone, while Tesamorelin is a GRF(1-44) analogue stabilized by an N-terminal hexenoyl cap. Both are studied for prolonged GHRH-analogue activity but via different stabilization strategies. Each is offered as a distinct ≥99% HPLC, research-use-only reference compound.

Yes. The Modified GRF (1-29) sequence with its lysine-linked albumin-binding DAC (CAS 446262-90-4) is verified for each lot by an independent third-party laboratory using HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity and acylated mass. It ships against a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis verifying ≥99% purity, available on request at info@condorresearch.com.

Yes. CJC-1295 DAC is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only (in vitro). It is not a medicine, food, supplement, cosmetic, or medical device, and is not for human or veterinary use, administration, or consumption. Condor Research provides no dosing, protocols, or human-use guidance. Purchase is limited to qualified professionals and institutions aged 18 or over.

For analytical laboratory preparation only, CJC-1295 DAC is water-soluble and can be reconstituted with a sterile aqueous diluent; the chosen volume sets the working concentration. Store the sealed lyophilized vial at -20°C, protected from light, with a 24-month shelf life from manufacture. This is laboratory handling information, not guidance for any human or animal use.
