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: ASP/C3a desArg

Acylation-stimulating protein (ASP), also known as C3adesArg, is an approximately 14 kDa member of the complement family that plays a role in the regulation of triglyceride synthesis (1-4). The secreted protein is a polypeptide fragment comprising amino acids (aa) 672-747 of the Complement C3 precursor protein (4). The polypeptide results from desargination of the carboxyl terminus of C3a, which is generated from interactions among C3, factor B, and adipsin (4). ASP contains a 36 aa anaphylatoxin-like domain (5). Human ASP shares 68% sequence identity with mouse and rat ASP. Increased levels of ASP are usually associated with insulin resistance, obesity and diabetes. It promotes triacylglycerol synthesis in adipocytes and inflammatory cytokine production in a septic environment (6-8).
