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: 100 mM HEPES, 0.5 mM MnCl2, pH 8.0
  • Recombinant Human Aminopeptidase P2/XPNPEP2 (rhXPNPEP2) (Catalog # 2490-ZN)
  • Substrate: Lys(Abz)-Pro-Pro-pNA (Bachem, Catalog # L-1980), 10 mM stock in deionized water
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhXPNPEP2 to 1 ng/µL in Assay Buffer. Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Dilute Substrate to 100 μM in Assay Buffer.
  3. Load into plate 50 μL of 1 ng/µL of rhXPNPEP2 and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 100 µM Substrate.  Include a Substrate Blank of 50 μL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 100 µM Substrate.
  4. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 410 nm (top read), respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  5. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)
amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank
     **Derived using calibration standard ABZ-Gly (Bachem, Catalog # E-2920).

Per Well:
  • rhXPNPEP2: 0.05 µg
  • Substrate: 50 µM

Background: Aminopeptidase P2/XPNPEP2

The human XPNPEP2 gene encodes Aminopeptidase P2 (APP2), which is also known as X-prolyl Aminopeptidase 2 or membrane bound Aminopeptidase P (1‑4). It is a member of the M24 family of metalloproteases, which also contains methionine Aminopeptidases, X-Pro dipeptidase, Aminopeptidase P1, Aminopeptidase P homolog, proliferation-associated protein 1, and suppressor of Ty homolog or chromatin-specific transcription elongation factor large subunit (5). Mammalian APP2 are predicted to be GPI-anchored membrane proteases and their biological functions have been reviewed (6). Human APP2 is widely expressed in many adult tissues with the highest levels in the kidney (7). The purified recombinant human APP2 corresponds to the ectodomain and is shown here to be an active aminopeptidase, removing a N-terminal amino acid from a peptide that contains a Pro residue at the second position.
