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.

- Activate rmRenin at 0.1 mg/mL with Trypsin at 2 µg/mL.
- Dilute rmRenin to 0.2 mg/mL in Activation Buffer.
- Dilute Trypsin to 4 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
- Mix equal volumes of the diluted rmRenin and Trypsin.
- Incubate at 37 °C for 1 hour.
- Stop Trypsin activity with 1 mM AEBSF.
- Dilute AEBSF to 2 mM in Assay Buffer.
- Add a volume of 2 mM AEBSF equal to the reaction volume for 1 mM AEBSF and 50 µg/mL rmRenin.
- Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Dilute Substrate to 4 µM in Assay Buffer.
- Dilute rmRenin to 2 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
- Load into a black well plate 50 µL of 2 ng/µL rmRenin (100 ng/well) and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 4 µM Substrate.
- Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 490 nm and 520 nm (top read), respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
- Calculate specific activity:

- Substrate: 2 µM
Reconstitution Calculator
Background: Renin
Renin is a aspartyl protease that plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood pressure and salt balance through the renin-angiotensin system (1). It cleaves angiotensinogen to generate angiotensin I, which can be further converted by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is the active molecule of the renin-angiotensin system that acts by binding to angiotensin receptors type 1 and 2 (AT-1 and AT-2), and has direct pathophysiological effects on the heart and peripheral vasculature (2). After secretion, inactive prorenin can be proteolytically activated by trypsin, cathepsin B, or other proteinases. Because of its unique specificity, inhibition of Renin is widely studied to provide selective therapy for hypertension, congestive heart failure and associated disorders (3).
