Science and research is constantly looking for ways to make hormones longer lasting and more effective to increase their potential for use. In research studies analogs, which are artificially created compounds that are similar to those found in the body, are developed that boost or enhance the natural chemical structure of the hormone they are designed to represent. CJC 1295 is one such analog.
Chemical Structure and Function
The chemical structure of CJC 1295 is a tetrasubstituted 30 amino acid peptide hormone. Its actual chemical formula is C152H252N44O42. It was developed as an analog for GHRH or growth hormone-releasing hormone. As such it is responsible for stimulated the anterior pituitary cells to produce growth hormone. This growth hormone is then used by various cells in the body in metabolism, growth, muscle development and development of all body systems.
How it Works
One of the very interesting aspects of CJC 1295 is that it is capable of a process that is known as bioconjugation. This is the ability of one biomolecule to form a stable link with another biomolecule. This can allow the two biomolecules to have impact, at cellular levels, that neither of the biomolecules could have on their own or when present in the cell but not linked together.
In the case of CJC 1295 it is a peptide that can bind to another reactive group. CJC 1295 is very good at binding with albumin, a protein that is soluble in water. It is most commonly found in blood plasma and acts to bind other elements together. When it binds with CJC 1295 the result is a GHRH analog that is very resistant to natural degradation within the cell or the body system.
What it Does
Since CJC 1295 does not break down as fast at a cellular level, it has been tested in vivo and in vitro and produces a more sustained release of human growth hormone from the cells of the anterior pituitary. This means the effects of human growth hormone are sustained much longer since the stimulation effect is more significant and longer in duration.
