Analysis
Product Datasheets
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.

Scientific Data
Recombinant Mouse R-Spondin 3 mFc Protein (Catalog # 11540-RS) activates TCF reporter activity in HEK293 human embryonic kidney cells in the presence of Wnt-3a. The ED50 for this effect is 0.300-3.60 ng/mL.
2 μg/lane of Recombinant Mouse R‑Spondin 3 mFc Protein (Catalog # 11540-RS) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (NR) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing bands at 54-65 kDa and 110-130 kDa, respectively.
Reconstitution Calculator
Background: R-Spondin 3
R-Spondin 3 (RSPO3, roof plate-specific spondin 3), also called cysteine-rich and single thrombospondin domain containing-1 (Cristin 1), is an ~31 kDa secreted protein that shares ~40% aa identity with the other three R‑Spondin family members (1, 2). All are positive modulators of Wnt/ beta -catenin signaling, but each has a distinct expression pattern (1-4). Like other R‑spondins, R‑Spondin 3 contains two adjacent cysteine-rich furin‑like domains (amino acids (aa) 35-135) with one potential N‑glycosylation site (aa 36), followed by a thrombospondin (TSP-1) motif (aa 147-207) and a region rich in basic residues (aa 211-269). Only the furin-like domains are needed for beta -catenin stabilization (2). Within aa 21-209, mouse R‑Spondin 3 shares 93%, 97%, 96%, 95% and 91% aa identity with human, rat, equine, bovine and canine R‑Spondin 3, respectively. Potential isoforms of 217, 224 and 252 aa are divergent or truncated at the C terminus; the 252 aa form also lacks aa 4‑33 at the N‑terminus (5). Mouse R‑Spondin 3 is critical for development of the placental labyrinthine layer, probably by promoting VEGF expression and thus vascular development (6, 7). It is also essential for expression of the placenta-specific transcription factor, Gcm1. In the mouse embryo, R‑Spondin 3 is often expressed by or located near endothelial cells (6). It is found in the roof plate, tail, somites, otic vesicles, cephalic mesoderm, truncus arteriosus, atrioventricular canal of the developing heart, and strongly but transiently in developing limbs (4, 7). R‑Spondins regulate Wnt/ beta -catenin by competing with the Wnt antagonist DKK-1 for binding to the Wnt co-receptors LRP-6 and Kremen, reducing their DKK‑1‑mediated internalization (8, 9). Reports differ on whether R‑Spondins bind LRP-6 directly (8-10). R‑Spondin 3 has also been identified as an oncogene (11).
