Peptide library Growth-Hormone Axis

CJC-1295 DAC

Also known as: Long-acting GHRH analogue

A GHRH analogue with a Drug Affinity Complex, studied for sustained growth-hormone and IGF-1 signalling.

What it is

Plain-English overview

CJC-1295 DAC modifies growth-hormone-releasing hormone with a Drug Affinity Complex. That addition helps the compound bind albumin, extending exposure compared with short GHRH fragments.

Mechanism

How it is thought to work

Like natural GHRH, it signals the pituitary to release growth hormone. The DAC extension changes the pattern: instead of a brief pulse, researchers study a longer window of GH and downstream IGF-1 activity.

Studied for

Research interest areas

  • Sustained GH support
  • Lean-mass research
  • Recovery and tissue-maintenance models
Evidence

What the research suggests

Early human pharmacology work supports durable GH and IGF-1 increases. That same long action is also the main caution: effects do not fade quickly once the signal is active.
