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, pH 7.5
- Recombinant Mouse Carboxylesterase 2/CES2 (rmCES2) (Catalog # 5280-CE)
- Substrate: 4-Nitrophenyl acetate (4-NPA) (Sigma, Catalog # N-8130), 100 mM stock in Acetone
- 96-well Clear Plate (Costar, Catalog # 92592)
- Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Dilute rmCES2 to 0.4 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
- Dilute Substrate to 2 mM in deionized water.
- In a plate load 50 µL of 0.4 ng/µL rmCES2, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 2 mM Substrate.
- Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL of Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 2 mM Substrate.
- Read at a wavelength of 400 nm (bottom read) in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
- Calculate specific activity:

Reconstitution Calculator
Background: Carboxylesterase 2/CES2
Carboxylesterase 2 is a member of a large family of carboxylesterases that are responsible for the hydrolysis of ester and amide bonds (1, 2). They have broad substrate specificity ranging from small molecule esters such as phenylester to long-chain fatty acid esters and thioesters. Carboxylesterases play a major role as determinants of pharmacokinetic behavior for most therapeutic agents containing an ester, participating in the detoxification of drugs such as cocaine and heroin in serum and liver. They can also detoxify organophosphate and carbamate analogues used in agrochemicals or chemical nerve agents, such as malathion, sarin, tabun, and VX. Carboxylesterases can also perform transesterification, a reaction important for cholesterol homeostasis. Carboxylesterase deficiency may be associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or B-cell lymphocytic leukemia. CES2, also known as acylcarnitine hydrolase M1, shares the serine hydrolase fold observed in other esterases (3). CES2 possesses an endoplasmic reticulum retention signal (HREL) at its C-terminus. The expressed recombinant mouse CES2 lacks this signal, resulting in its secretion.
