CJC-1295 with DAC is the same 29-residue GRF analogue carrying an additional lysine at position 30 bearing a maleimidoproprionic acid Drug Affinity Complex.
CJC-1295 with DAC is the same 29-residue GRF analogue carrying an additional lysine at position 30 bearing a maleimidoproprionic acid Drug Affinity Complex.
That DAC moiety forms a covalent bond with cysteine-34 of serum albumin, which is the entire point of the variant and the reason it behaves so differently from the No DAC form in any assay involving serum.
The added moiety raises molecular weight to roughly 3647 g/mol against 3368 for the No DAC form - a difference worth accounting for when preparing molar solutions.

Vials arrive lyophilized and sealed under nitrogen. Bring the vial fully to room temperature before breaking the seal — opening a cold vial condenses atmospheric moisture onto the cake.
Direct diluent gently against the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the cake, and allow the material to dissolve without agitation. Vortexing shears longer sequences and introduces air.
Lyophilized: -20 C, desiccated. Reconstituted: 2-8 C, use within 30 days.

Drug Affinity Complex - a maleimidoproprionic acid moiety that covalently binds albumin.
Protocols using the DAC form typically call for smaller masses, so the 5 mg vial is the standard format.
No. Albumin binding makes them functionally distinct reagents.
