HGH Releasing Factor 1-29 (HGRF1-29)

CJC-1295 is a tetrasubstituted 30-amino acid peptide hormone, primarily functioning as a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. It was invented by ConjuChem, a Canadian biotechnology company.One of the advantages of CJC-1295 over traditional GHRH or rHGH is its ability to bioconjugate with serum albumin, thus increasing its half-life and therapeutic window. It accomplishes this by using protecting groups around the amino acids of GHRH typically susceptible to enzymatic degradation. The reason why CJC-1295 possesses the ability to lengthen the half-life within the active agent has to do with the scientific process known as bioconjugation. This technology, which is relatively new, is defined by its ability to take a reactive group and bond it to a peptide. This attachment causes a reaction with a nucleophilic unit, a typically partially molecule that is found within the bloodstream of an animal test subject.
