About This Compound
About CJC-1295 No DAC
CJC-1295 without DAC – also called modified GRF(1-29) – is a 29-residue fragment of growth hormone-releasing hormone carrying four amino acid substitutions that make it resistant to enzymatic breakdown. The name is confusing, and the confusion matters: the original CJC-1295 carries a Drug Affinity Complex, a maleimide group that binds serum albumin and stretches its half-life to days. Remove the DAC and you keep the substitutions but lose the albumin anchor, leaving a short-acting analog. The two are chemically different molecules with different masses, so the figures here come from PubChem’s separate entry for the no-DAC form – listed as "CJC1295 Without DAC" – never from its "CJC-1295" record, which is the DAC version.

How It Works
How CJC-1295 No DAC Works
The pathways CJC-1295 No DAC acts on, and what each one does. Described from preclinical and receptor-pharmacology literature.
Driving The Pituitary
The peptide binds the growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor on pituitary somatotrophs and stimulates release of endogenous growth hormone. GHRH(1-29) is the shortest fragment that retains full activity, which is why every analog in this family is built on it.
- Agonist at the pituitary GHRH receptor
- GHRH(1-29) is the minimal fully active fragment
- Stimulates endogenous rather than exogenous GH
Resistance Without An Anchor
D-Ala at position 2 blocks DPP-4 cleavage; Gln8 removes an asparagine deamidation site; Ala15 and Leu27 further stabilise the sequence. Together they extend the peptide’s survival without attaching it to anything.
- D-Ala² blocks dipeptidyl peptidase-4
- Gln⁸ removes a deamidation site
- Ala¹⁵ and Leu²⁷ add further stability
Why Removing The DAC Changes The Experiment
With the Drug Affinity Complex, CJC-1295 binds albumin and persists for days, producing a sustained elevation. Without it, the analog acts over a much shorter window, so models using it retain the pulsatile secretion pattern rather than flattening it.
- No albumin binding, so no multi-day persistence
- Preserves pulsatile rather than continuous release
- Chosen when the pulse pattern is the variable
Uses And Applications
What CJC-1295 No DAC Is Researched For
The main areas CJC-1295 No DAC is studied in, and the qualitative magnitudes reported alongside them.
Growth Hormone Secretion Studies
The core use: measuring the pituitary GH response to GHRH receptor agonism over a short window.
Pulsatile Release Models
Preferred over the DAC version wherever the pulse structure of secretion, not the total amount, is the subject of the experiment.
Peptide Half-Life Design
A clean comparison against the DAC version for how much an albumin anchor changes a peptide’s pharmacokinetics, with the sequence held constant.
GHRH Receptor Pharmacology
Studied alongside sermorelin and tesamorelin to compare fragment length and stabilisation strategy across the GHRH analog family.

FAQ
Common Questions About CJC-1295 No DAC
What Is CJC-1295 No DAC?
A 29-amino-acid GHRH analog, also called modified GRF(1-29), with four stabilising amino acid substitutions and no albumin-binding complex. It is supplied here as a research compound.
What Is DAC, And What Changes Without It?
DAC is a Drug Affinity Complex – a maleimide group that binds serum albumin and extends the peptide’s half-life to days. Without it the analog is short-acting, so growth hormone release stays pulsatile instead of being sustained.
Which PubChem Record Applies To This Product?
The one listed as "CJC1295 Without DAC". PubChem’s "CJC-1295" record is the DAC version – a different molecule with a different mass – and its "Sermorelin" record is a different peptide again. Neither applies here. The CAS shown, 863288-34-0, is the acetate salt, which is also what the vial label prints.
How Does It Differ From Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is the unmodified GHRH(1-29) fragment. This analog is the same 29 residues with four substitutions that slow its degradation.
Is CJC-1295 No DAC Approved For Human Use?
No. It is supplied as a research chemical for in-vitro laboratory work only.
How Should It Be Stored?
Store the lyophilized powder at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture, and refrigerate after reconstitution.
Feedback
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY...
"Been using PureChain Labs for 9 months now. In my opinion, it's the best source in Canada. Quality product every time and gives me the best results. Also the communication is second to none, I get a response in minutes usually. Overall extremely happy with the service and product they provide."
"A+ service and communication. Delivery is always quick and packaged safe and sound... I love how they are transparent and you know what your getting and for using a new source for the first time that's a huge relief."
"Took a month but hair felt thicker at roots, gave me hope after months of thinning, they definitely sell quality peptides."
