CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Available in two forms: with and without Drug Affinity Complex (DAC), which extends its half-life.
Binds to GHRH receptors on pituitary somatotrophs, stimulating pulsatile growth hormone release. The DAC modification enables albumin binding, extending half-life to 6-8 days.
