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.

Assay Procedure
- Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 10 mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCl (TCN)
- Recombinant Human Pappalysin-1/PAPP-A (rhPappalysin-1) (Catalog # 2487-ZNF)
- Recombinant Human IGFBP‑5 (rhIGFBP‑5) (Catalog # 875-B5)
- Reducing SDS-PAGE Gel Buffer
- SDS-PAGE or Western Blot
- Dilute rhPappalysin-1 to 10 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
- Dilute rhIGFBP-5 to 200 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
- Combine equal volumes of 10 µg/mL rhPappalysin-1 and 200 µg/mL rhIGFBP-5. Include two controls containing Assay Buffer in place of rhPappalysin-1.
- Incubate reaction vials and one control at 37 °C for 30 minutes. Keep the other control at -20 °C during the incubation period.
- Combine equal volumes of rhPappalysin-1/rhIGFBP-5 reaction mixture and reducing SDS-PAGE gel buffer.
- Analyze the cleavage by SDS-PAGE (load 20 µL/lane) followed by protein staining and/or Western blot.
- rhPappalysin-1: 0.050 µg
- rhIGFBP-5: 1 µg
Reconstitution Calculator
Background: Pappalysin-1/PAPP-A
Pappalysins belong to a fifth family of metzincins that consists of ADAMs/ADAMTSs, MMPs, astacins and serrylysins (1). PAPP-A is an important pregnancy protein and increases in plasma by a factor of about 150 during pregnancy as compared to the nonpregnant state. PAPP-A is also a major marker of Down syndrome in the first trimester of pregnancy because maternal serum levels of PAPP‑A are significantly reduced when a fetus affected by Down syndrome is present (2). PAPP-A cleaves Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-4 and -5 (IGFBP-4 and -5) at a single site, resulting in the release of bioactive IGF (3). Lack of IGFBP-4 cleavage in embryonic fibroblasts derived from PAPP-A knockout mice indicates that PAPP-A functions as a physiological IGFBP-4 protease (4). Three Lin12-Notch repeats (LNR) in the PAPP-A protein bind Ca2+ and are required for the cleavage of IGFBP-4, but not IGFBP-5, by PAPP-A (5). As an active protease, recombinant human (rh) PAPP-A cleaves IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5. This full-length rhPAPP-A, which contains the five C-terminal Sushi domains, is approximately 9-fold more active for cleavage of IGFBP-5 than the C-terminally truncated rhPAPP-A (Catalog # 2487‑ZN).
