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: Podocan

Mouse Podocan is a 95 kDa, secreted glycoprotein that is a class V member of the small leucine rich protein gene family (1, 2). It is synthesized as a 611 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a 23 aa signal sequence, a cysteine-rich region, a series of leucine rich repeats (LRRs), and an extensive acidic C-terminal domain (4, 5). The 15 aa cysteine-rich region (aa 69 - 84) shows a CX3CXCX7C motif, qualifying it as a class V SLRP family member. This is followed by twenty LRRs, thirteen of which are type T (4xLeu; 1xPhe) and seven type S (4xLeu; 2xPro). The LRRs run uninterrupted from aa 89 ‑ 559. The C-terminal seventeen amino acids contain fourteen Glu residues. The negative charge associated with these residues may play a role in basement membrane permeability (4). Mature mouse Podocan is 93% and 94% aa identical to human and canine Podocan, respectively. Over the last 504 aa, mouse Podocan is 98% aa identical to rat Podocan. Podocan is apparently secreted by podocytes and vascular endothelial cells, and deposited in the underlying basement membrane (4). Podocan is known to bind to type I collagen, and have an inhibitory effect on the migration of Podocan-transfected CHO cells (5). The significance of this is unclear.
