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: FLIP

FLIP (Flice-like Inhibitory Protein), also known as I-FLICE, CASPER, and FLAME-1, is an apoptosis inhibitory protein with architecture similar to that of Caspases-8 and -10. Both of the FLIP isoforms, Long (L) and Short (S), contain two death effector domains (DED). FLIP(L) has a C-terminal Caspase-like protease domain which lacks both a catalytic active site and residues that form a substrate-binding pocket. FLIP(S) and FLIP(L) interact with the adaptor molecule FADD, and potently inhibit apoptosis initiated by Fas Ligand/TNF signaling pathways.
