CJC-1295 with DAC
1. Product Overview
CJC-1295 with DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) is a highly specialized synthetic peptide designed exclusively for advanced laboratory research. It is a modified analog of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) and is utilized in studies requiring extended biological activity of GHRH, primarily due to its significantly prolonged plasma half-life.
The inclusion of the Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) is a key feature of this molecule. This modification allows the peptide to covalently bind to endogenous serum albumin upon administration. This innovative mechanism of action provides substantial protection against rapid enzymatic degradation and renal clearance, resulting in a sustained and predictable release profile compared to native GHRH or non-DAC-modified GHRH analogs.

3. Mechanism of Action
CJC-1295 with DAC functions as a Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) agonist. GHRH is a hypothalamic peptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland.
The critical distinction of CJC-1295 with DAC is the Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) modification. This lipophilic modification facilitates the binding of the peptide to circulating serum albumin, a highly abundant plasma protein.
This covalent binding achieves two primary objectives:
- Enzymatic Protection: The peptide, once bound to albumin, is shielded from circulating proteases and peptidases, thereby preventing degradation.
- Reduced Renal Clearance: The combined peptide-albumin complex becomes too large to be rapidly filtered by the kidneys, which dramatically reduces the elimination rate.
The outcome is a sustained release profile, providing prolonged exposure to the GHRH agonist, which has been shown in research models to significantly extend the plasma half-life.

5. Usage and Handling
5.1. Intended Use
FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. This product is not intended for human or animal use, consumption, or therapeutic purposes. It is strictly for in vitro and in vivo scientific investigation by qualified research professionals.
5.2. Reconstitution
The lyophilized powder must be reconstituted prior to use. It is recommended to use sterile, bacteriostatic water or a suitable solvent as determined by the researcher's specific application.
Reconstitution Steps:
- Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening.
- Gently inject the calculated volume of solvent (e.g., bacteriostatic water for injection) into the vial, allowing the solvent to run down the inside wall.
- Do not shake the vial. Gently swirl the solution until the powder is fully dissolved.
- Store the reconstituted solution as directed in Section 5.3.
A standard reconstitution protocol is available in the supplementary File Product Reconstitution Guide.
