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.

Assay Procedure

Materials
  • Activation Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 10 mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% (w/v) Brij-35, pH 7.5 (TCNB)
  • Assay Buffer: 25 mM Tris, 0.1 M NaCl, pH 7.5
  • Recombinant Mouse Carboxypeptidase B1/CPB1 (rmCPB1) (Catalog # 2898-ZN)
  • Trypsin (Sigma, Catalog # T-1426)
  • AEBSF (Catalog # EI001), 100 mM stock in DMSO
  • Substrate: Hippuryl-Arg (Sigma, Catalog # H-2508), 25 mM in diH2O
  • 96-well Clear UV Plate (Corning, Catalog # 3635)
  • Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Activate rmCPB1 at 100 µg/mL with 1 µg/mL Trypsin in Activation Buffer.
  2. Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Add AEBSF at a final concentration of 1 mM to stop reaction.
  4. Dilute activated rmCPB1 to 2 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
  5. Dilute Substrate to 2 mM in Assay Buffer.
  6. In a plate, load 50 µL of 2 µg/mL rmCPB1, and include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer.
  7. Start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 2 mM Substrate into wells.
  8. Read in kinetic mode for 5 minutes at an absorbance of 254 nm.
  9. Calculate specific activity using the following formula:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/OD)
amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank
     **Derived using calibration standard Hippuric acid (Sigma Catalog # 112003).

Per Well:
  • rmCPB1: 0.1 µg
  • Substrate: 1 mM

Background: Carboxypeptidase B1/CPB1

Carboxypeptidase B1, encoded by the CPB1 gene, specifically cleaves the C-terminal Arg and Lys residues with a preference for Arg (1). The deduced amino acid sequence of mouse CPB1 consists of a signal peptide (residues 1 to 15), a pro region (residue 16 to 108), and a mature chain (residues 109 to 415). The purified rmCPB1 corresponds to the pro form, which can be activated by trypsin, the only pancreatic protease capable of generating active enzyme from the zymogen in vitro (1).
