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.

Assay Procedure

Materials
  • Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, pH 7.5
  • Recombinant F. heparinum Heparinase I (rFhHeparinase I) (Catalog # 7897-GH)
  • Substrate: Heparin (Tocris, Catalog # 2812), 20 mg/mL stock in deionized water
  • 96-well Clear UV Plate (Costar, Catalog # 3635)
  • Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rFhHeparinase I to 0.5 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Substrate to 0.75 mg/mL in Assay Buffer.
  3. Load 100 µL of diluted rFhHeparinase I into a UV plate, and start the reaction by adding 200 µL of 0.75 mg/mL Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 100 µL of Assay Buffer and 200 µL of 0.75 mg/mL Substrate.
  4. Read plate in kinetic mode for 5 minutes at an absorbance of 232 nm.
  5. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

 Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/mol
ext. coeff** (M-1cm-1) x path corr.*** (cm) x amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank 
     **Using the extinction coefficient 3800 M-1cm-1 
     ***Using the path correction 0.92 cm
     Note: the output of many spectrophotometers is in mOD Per Reaction:
  • rFhHeparinase I: 0.05 µg
  • Substrate: 0.5 mg/mL

Background: Heparinase I

Heparin and heparan sulfate are sulfated glycosaminoglycans that share basic carbohydrate backbone structure with alternating uronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine residues (1, 2). Heparin is found in mast cells and has strong anticoagulation properties. Heparan sulfate is found on cell membrane and extracellular matrix and is involved in various biological events from cell growth, adhesion and migration to lipid metabolism. Heparin has a much higher degree of sulfation than heparan sulfate, which can be considered as a polysaccharide with regions similar to heparin interspaced with much less sulfated regions. Both heparin and heparan sulfate can be digested by heparinases, a group of bacterial lyases that are widely used as tools for processing and analyze these polysaccharides. Heparinases degrade heparin and heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans through an eliminative mechanism (3). Heparinase I from Flavobacterium heparinum is highly active on heparin and has no activity against chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate (4). The enzyme readily releases highly sulfated oligosaccharides from heparin (5).
