Research context

CJC-1295 is a synthetic 29-residue analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone, also known as Modified GRF (1-29), with a molecular weight of 3367.95 g/mol. It differs from native GHRH(1-29) at four positions: D-alanine at 2, glutamine at 8, alanine at 15, and norleucine at 27. The C-terminus is amidated. Supplied as a characterized research material.

Not to be confused with: CJC-1295 DACAlbumin-binding long-acting variant of Modified GRF (1-29). The compound Lineará stocks is the no-DAC form (CJC-1295 / Mod GRF 1-29); this DAC variant is listed here for characterization and disambiguation only.

How CJC-1295 is identified

Identity and purity are measured, not asserted. Electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) determines the mass-to-charge ratio of the intact molecule — an observed value matching the expected series above confirms the molecular formula. Reversed-phase HPLC separates the sample over time, and purity is read as arithmetic: the target peak’s area as a share of total peak area.

Frequently asked questions

What is CJC-1295?
CJC-1295 is a synthetic 29-residue analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone, also known as Modified GRF (1-29), with a molecular weight of 3367.95 g/mol. It differs from native GHRH(1-29) at four positions: D-alanine at 2, glutamine at 8, alanine at 15, and norleucine at 27. The C-terminus is amidated. Supplied as a characterized research material.
What is the molecular formula of CJC-1295?
CJC-1295 has the molecular formula C152H252N44O42, giving a molecular weight of 3367.95 g/mol. Its monoisotopic mass is 3365.8936 Da.
What is the CAS number of CJC-1295?
The CAS Registry Number for CJC-1295 is 446036-97-1. Its InChIKey is XOZMWINMZMMOBR-HRDSVTNWSA-N.
How is the identity of CJC-1295 confirmed?
Identity is confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry. The observed mass-to-charge ratio is compared against the expected series — for CJC-1295, [M+H]⁺ is expected at m/z 3366.9. Purity is measured separately by reversed-phase HPLC as the target peak’s share of total peak area.
How should CJC-1295 be stored?
CJC-1295 is supplied as lyophilized powder and should be stored at 2–8 °C, desiccated. It is water-soluble.
Is CJC-1295 a peptide?
Yes. CJC-1295 is a peptide — a chain of amino-acid residues joined by peptide bonds, 29 residues in length. Its identity is defined by that sequence and its molecular mass.
Is CJC-1295 approved for human use?
No. CJC-1295 is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only. It is not a drug, is not approved by the FDA for any human or veterinary use, and must not be administered to humans or animals.
