Carrier Free
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.
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: Fibromodulin/FMOD
Fibromodulin (FMOD) is a secreted, 60-70 kDa class II member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family of matrix proteins. It is expressed by a variety of cell types, including keratinocytes, fibroblasts and chrondrocytes, and is known to bind to type I and XII collagen, plus TGF-beta (1, 2). FMOD is posited to displace lumican binding to collagen, generating 3D collagen fibrils from simple lumican-induced collagen dimers (3). Mature human FMOD is 358 amino acids (aa) in length (aa 19-376). It contains a sulfated N-terminal complement C1q binding domain (aa 19-98) and 12 Leu-rich repeats (LRRs) (aa 98-376), with the LRR5-7 and LRR11 responsible for collagen type I binding (2 - 4). Fibromodulin contains varying amounts of keratan sulfate, and undergoes significant tyrosine sulfation (5). Over aa 76-376, human Fibromodulin shares 96% aa identity with mouse and rat Fibromodulin. Recent study has shown that FMOD can induce glioma cell migration and invasion by promoting actin cytoskeleton remodeling (6).
