CJC-1295 (No DAC)

CJC-1295 (No DAC)

CJC-1295 (No DAC) is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), engineered for enhanced stability and receptor affinity compared to the native peptide. Unlike the DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) variant, CJC-1295 without DAC has a shorter half-life, producing pulsatile growth hormone release that more closely mimics endogenous GH secretion patterns. It is widely used in preclinical research investigating the GH/IGF-1 axis, pituitary function, and anabolic signalling.

Mechanism of Action

CJC-1295 (No DAC) binds to and activates the GHRH receptor (GHRHR) on pituitary somatotroph cells, stimulating the synthesis and pulsatile release of growth hormone. This in turn drives hepatic IGF-1 production, which mediates downstream anabolic and metabolic effects including protein synthesis, lipolysis, and cellular proliferation. The peptide incorporates amino acid substitutions that confer resistance to dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) cleavage, extending its activity relative to native GHRH(1-29).
