Carrier Free
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.
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: Integrin alpha 2 beta 1
Integrin alpha 2 beta 1 is one of twelve integrin family adhesion receptors that share the beta 1 subunit (1-3). It is the non-covalent heterodimer of 160 kDa alpha 2 (CD49b) and 130 kDa beta 1 (CD29) type I transmembrane glycoprotein subunits and is one of six very late antigens on activated T cells, designated VLA2 (3). The alpha 2 extracellular domain (ECD) contains an I (inserted) domain which includes the ligand binding site (2, 3). The beta 1 ECD contains a vWFA domain, which participates in binding. Each subunit then has a transmembrane sequence and a short cytoplasmic tail. The dimer is folded when it is least active. Divalent cations and intracellular (inside-out) signaling convert it to its most active, extended and open conformation (1, 2). The 1102 amino acid (aa) human alpha 2 extracellular domain (ECD) shares 83-89% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat, canine, bovine and equine alpha 2, while the 708 aa human beta 1 ECD shares 92-96% aa sequence identity with rat, bovine, mouse, and feline beta 1. The I domain-containing beta 1 integrins ( alpha 1 beta 1, alpha 2 beta 1, alpha 10 beta 1 and alpha 11 beta 1) all bind collagens, with alpha 2 beta 1 preferring collagens I-III (4, 5). Platelet alpha 2 beta 1, also called GPIa, cooperates with another adhesion protein, GPVI, to coordinate platelet collagen binding and activation (3, 6, 7). Other alpha 2 beta 1 ligands include laminin, decorin, E‑cadherin, and collagen-like regions of collectin molecules such as C1q (4). Adhesion is synergized by crosstalk with syndecan-1 or HGF R/c-Met, and antagonized by crosstalk with Integrin alpha 1 beta 1 (8-10). In addition to expression on selected hematopoietic cells, alpha 2 beta 1 is present on a wide variety of non‑hematopoietic cells (4). Mice deficient in the alpha 2 subunit have defects in innate immune responses, wound mast cell infiltration and angiogenesis, and platelet responses to collagen (6, 11, 12). In innate immunity, alpha 2 beta 1 binding to C1q initiates the complement cascade and costimulates mast cell activation, triggering neutrophil influx (4, 12).

What are the functions of the C-Jun and C-Fos peptides included in the Human Integrin Alpha 2 and Human Integrin Beta 1 sequences of Recombinant Human Integrin alpha 2 beta 1 Protein, CF (Catalog # 5698-A2)?
The sequences present for C-Jun (Arg276-His315) and C-Fos (Leu161-Ala199) encompass the leucine zipper domains.
The Integrin alpha 2 and beta 1 subunits are single-pass type 1 membrane proteins. However, Recombinant Human Integrin alpha 2 beta 1 Protein, CF (Catalog # 5698-A2)only expresses the extracellular domains. The inclusion of the leucine zippers form C-Jun and C-Fos allow the alpha 2 and beta 1 subunites to form a non-covalent heterodimer.
