Product Overview
CJC-1295 Without DAC (Modified GRF 1-29) is a tetrasubstituted synthetic analogue of the N-terminal 29-amino-acid fragment of GHRH. GHRH is a 44-amino-acid hypothalamic neuropeptide associated with pituitary somatotroph signaling and the GH-IGF-1 axis. This reagent provides laboratory research context for GHRH receptor (GHRHR) interactions and downstream signaling measurements.
The no-DAC designation identifies the absence of the maleimidopropionic acid (MPA) albumin-binding conjugate. The listed research-model half-life is approximately 30 minutes. Temporal receptor responses, somatostatin interactions, and GH-axis measurements require interpretation within the selected assay system rather than assuming a physiological outcome from material identity alone.
MOLECULAR STRUCTURE

The listed molecular formula is C152H252N44O42 and approximate molecular weight is 3,367.9 g/mol. The existing scaffold description identifies substitutions at positions 2, 8, 15, and 27. Refer to batch sequence documentation for the supplied molecular form.
The listed computed properties include a topological polar surface area of approximately 1,450 Å2, 52 hydrogen-bond donors, 48 acceptors, and 118 rotatable bonds. The existing research description lists an approximate native GHRH half-life of 7 minutes and a Modified GRF model value of 30 minutes; such values depend on molecular form and experimental conditions.
Four Stabilising Amino Acid Substitutions
| Position | Native GHRH Residue | Modified GRF Residue | Research Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | L-Ala | D-Ala | Blocks DPP-IV enzymatic cleavage at the Tyr-Ala N-terminal bond |
| 8 | Gly | Aib / Gln | Prevents Asn deamidation and amide hydrolysis to Asp; enhances metabolic stability |
| 15 | Ala | Ala (modified) | Enhances GHRHR binding bioactivity and receptor engagement kinetics |
| 27 | Met / Ser | Leu | Prevents methionine oxidation during lyophilisation, shipping, and storage |
RESEARCH MECHANISMS AND LABORATORY ASSAYS
GHRHR-cAMP-PKA Signaling
Research contexts include GHRHR binding kinetics, adenylate-cyclase signaling, intracellular cAMP measurements, PKA substrate phosphorylation, GH gene transcription, and secretory-vesicle readouts. The existing description lists GH3 and HP75 cell-line contexts; verify receptor expression and suitability for the particular assay.
Temporal Signaling and Somatostatin Interactions
Controlled assays can examine the timing of GHRH-related signaling alongside somatostatin (SRIF) inhibitory pathways. Relevant endpoints include temporal GH measurements, SRIF pathway interactions, and feedback-response kinetics under defined experimental conditions.
GH-IGF-1 Pathway Measurements
Laboratory research contexts include JAK2-STAT5 signaling, IGF-1 expression, IGF-1 ELISA measurements, IGFBP-3 regulation, and GH-receptor response kinetics in hepatocyte culture systems. Interpret each endpoint according to the specific model and analytical controls.
DPP-IV Resistance and Peptide Stability
Biochemical assays examine the contribution of the listed substitutions to enzymatic degradation, including DPP-IV cleavage and residue-associated oxidation or hydrolysis. DPP-IV degradation assays, matrix stability measurements, and time-course analyses provide context for evaluating the supplied peptide scaffold.
GHRHR and GHS-R1a Pathway Interactions
Receptor-pathway research may examine GHRHR-associated cAMP/PKA signaling and GHS-R1a-associated phospholipase-C/calcium signaling in controlled cellular assays. Relevant measurements include calcium mobilization, receptor responses, and multi-component assay interactions. Combined effects must be evaluated within the selected experimental system.
Model-Dependent Somatotroph Responses
Somatotroph secretory capacity and hypothalamic-pituitary feedback sensitivity are model-dependent research endpoints. Time-course and model-stratified measurements require suitable controls and do not establish a general age-related outcome.

WHY SOURCE FROM PROFOUND AMINOS
Sequence and Analytical Identity Documentation
RP-HPLC characterizes analytical purity, while LC-MS and sequence profiling provide identity information. Profound Aminos lists both RP-HPLC purity verification and LC-MS identity confirmation per batch. Review the documentation for the specific substitution pattern and material identity.
Lyophilized Laboratory Format
Lyophilization removes aqueous solvent to provide a dry peptide material. Stability and assay concentration accuracy depend on material characterization, solvent compatibility, storage conditions, and analytical measurements after solubilization.
USA Domestic Cold-Chain Logistics
Profound Aminos lists USA domestic shipping through monitored cold-chain materials handling from a climate-controlled facility. Temperature management is relevant to evaluating peptide aggregation, oxidation, and deamidation during storage and transport.
Endotoxin Screening
Endotoxin contamination can confound cell-based signaling assays. The listed per-batch screening limit is below 0.25 EU/mg by the LAL chromogenic method, with results documented on the COA.
RESEARCH USE AND LABORATORY HANDLING
For laboratory research use only. Not for use in humans or animals.
Use appropriate gloves, a lab coat, and protective eyewear during solubilization and handling. Follow institutional safety procedures and consult the applicable material safety documentation.
Store lyophilized material at 2–8°C, desiccated and protected from light. After solubilization, store at −20°C in single-use aliquots and limit repeated freezing and thawing. The listed solvent system is an aqueous laboratory buffer (Solution); assess compatibility with the specific assay.
Frequently Asked Questions
