CAS Number: 863288-34-0 (Modified)
Format: Albumin-Binding GHRH Analogue
Chemical Description
CJC-1295 with DAC is a tetrasubstituted analogue of GHRH(1-29) conjugated to a Drug Affinity Complex (DAC). Specifically, it incorporates a lysine linker attached to a reactive maleimidopropionic acid (MPA) group. Upon reconstitution in serum-containing media, this reactive group forms a stable covalent bond with the free thiol group (Cys34) of serum albumin. This bioconjugation significantly increases the molecular weight of the complex, reducing renal clearance and preventing enzymatic cleavage, thereby extending the half-life of the ligand in research environments.
Research Applications
This long-acting peptide is strictly for laboratory research use in the study of:
- Bioconjugation Kinetics: Investigation of the reaction rate and stability of the maleimide-thiol bond formation with albumin species in vitro.
- Sustained Receptor Activation: Research into the effects of continuous (non-pulsatile) GHRH receptor stimulation on IGF-1 mRNA transcription levels in hepatocyte models.
- Proteolytic Stability Assays: Comparative analysis of degradation rates against Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-IV) relative to native GHRH.
