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 DAC — Albumin-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.
Supplied solely as a characterized research material. No representation is made as to any biological effect. For Research Use Only — not for human or veterinary use.
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.
