Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: BMP-4/BMP-7 Heterodimer

Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 and 7 (BMP-4 and BMP-7), also known as osteogenic protein 1 (OP-1), belong to distinct BMP subgroups of the TGF-beta superfamily and signal through heterodimeric complexes composed of type I and type II BMP receptors. BMP-4 and BMP-7 are widely expressed from early embryogenesis to adult and influence a variety of morphogenic processes (1-3). The human BMP-4 cDNA encodes a 408 amino acid (aa) precursor that includes a 19 aa signal sequence, a 273 aa propeptide, and a 116 aa mature protein (4). The human BMP-7 cDNA encodes a 431 aa precursor that includes a 29 aa signal sequence, a 263 aa propeptide, and a 139 aa mature protein (5). BMP propeptides are removed intracellulaly by proteolysis, enabling mature BMPs to form active disulfide linked homodimers or heterodimers (1). Cell types that express both BMP components can produce the heterodimers. BMP-4 and BMP-7 are each 98% conserved between human and mouse. Human BMP-4 shares 85% aa sequence identity with human BMP-2 and less than 50% aa sequence identity with other BMPs. Human BMP-7 shares approximately 60 - 70% aa sequence identity with BMP-5, -6, and -8 and less than 50% aa sequence identity with other BMPs. BMP‑4 and BMP‑7, when associated into 36 kDa heterodimers (6, 7), acquire increased potency in in vitro osteogenic differentiation assays and in vivo bone formation models compared to either homodimer (6-10). Furthermore, BMP-4/BMP-7 heterodimers induce ventral mesoderm and blood formation in mid-blastula Xenopus animal cap assays, whereas the homodimers do not (11, 12). BMP-4/BMP-7 as well as either homodimer can modulate mesoderm induction by activin and prevent subsequent dorsalization of the mesoderm (12).
