CJC-1295 With DAC vs No DAC: How the Research Compares

Both forms of CJC-1295 are synthetic analogs of growth-hormone-releasing hormone built on a modified GRF(1-29) sequence; the key research distinction is the Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) and its effect on half-life.

At a glance

Property CJC-1295 with DAC CJC-1295 No DAC
Class GHRH(1-29) analog + DAC GHRH(1-29) analog (mod GRF 1-29)
Primary research target GHRH receptor GHRH receptor
Research half-life Extended (albumin-binding) Short (pulsatile)
Research domain Sustained somatotropic signaling Pulsatile GH-axis signaling
Format Lyophilized powder Lyophilized powder

CJC-1295 with DAC in research

CJC-1295 with DAC incorporates a Drug Affinity Complex that binds serum albumin in research models to extend circulating half-life, supporting study of sustained GHRH-receptor signaling. See the full CJC-1295 with DAC research profile.

CJC-1295 No DAC in research

CJC-1295 No DAC (modified GRF 1-29) lacks the albumin-binding complex and is studied for short-duration, pulsatile GHRH-receptor signaling in growth-hormone-axis models. See the full CJC-1295 No DAC research profile.

Key differences

  • The DAC modification extends research half-life via albumin binding; No DAC is short-acting.
  • DAC supports sustained-signaling models; No DAC supports pulsatile-signaling models.
  • Both target the GHRH receptor and share the GRF(1-29) backbone.

Selecting for a research model

Researchers select between the DAC and No-DAC forms based on whether a sustained or pulsatile GHRH-signaling profile fits the model. These distinctions are described strictly in the context of research models and are not statements of efficacy, safety, or suitability for any use.
