Lyophilized powderCJC-1295 (no DAC)
CJC-1295 without DAC / Modified GRF (1-29)
CJC-1295 without DAC — more precisely Modified GRF (1-29) — is a 29-amino-acid GHRH analog carrying four substitutions (D-Ala2, Gln8, Ala15, Leu27) that increase stability against DPP-4 cleavage and plasma degradation. The 'no DAC' designation distinguishes it from the drug affinity complex variant, which incorporates a maleimido group for albumin conjugation and a substantially longer half-life. The two are frequently conflated in supplier catalogs; they are pharmacokinetically very different molecules.
Research applications
- GHRH receptor binding and activation studies
- Comparative half-life studies against DAC-conjugated variants
- Combination studies with GHS-R1a agonists
- Enzymatic stability and degradation kinetics
Storage
Store lyophilized powder at -20°C protected from light. Reconstituted solution stable at 2-8°C for up to 30 days.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed down the vial wall. Swirl gently until dissolved.
