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: VLDLR

Very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDL R) is a 130 kDa type I transmembrane protein that plays a significant role in lipid metabolism and in nervous system development and function (1). Mature human VLDL R consists of a 770 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with eight tandem LDLR class A repeats, three EGF-like domains, six tandem LDLR class B repeats, and a juxtamembrane region that is rich in O-linked glycosylation; a transmembrane segment, and a 54 aa cytoplasmic domain with one NPxY internalization motif (2). Within the ECD, human VLDLR shares 95% and 92% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat VLDL R, respectively. Alternative splicing of human VLDL R shows a deletion of the O-glycosylated region and also includes a critical determinant for ApoE binding (3, 4). VLDL R is predominantly expressed on endothelial cells lining capillaries and small arterioles (5). VLDL R participates in the tissue uptake of fatty acids from plasma by mediating the internalization of ApoE-containing lipoparticles (i.e. VLDL, beta -VLDL, and chylomicron remnants) (6). VLDL R binds and internalizes lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and mediates its transport from the basolateral to the lumenal face of endothelial cells (7, 8). VLDL R knockout mice are characterized by reduced LPL activity and increased serum triglyceride clearance (9). VLDL R influences breast cancer cell motility by mediating the uptake of uPAR-PAI1 complexes (7, 10). Lipoprotein accumulation via macrophage VLDL R is instrumental in promoting the formation of atherosclerotic plaques (11). In the nervous system, VLDL R and ApoE R2 interactions with Reelin are critical for neuronal migration and positioning in the developing brain (12, 13). VLDL R also functions in adult hippocampal synapse maturation, synaptic plasticity, and memory formation (14).
