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
  • Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 0.15 M NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.05% Brij-35, pH 7.5 (TCNB)
  • Recombinant Human Enteropeptidase/Enterokinase (rhEnterokinase) (Catalog # 1585-SE)
  • Bacterial Thermolysin (Thermolysin) (Catalog # 3097-ZN)
  • 1,10 Phenanthroline (Sigma, Catalog # 320056), 0.6 M stock in DMSO
  • Substrate: thiobenzyl benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysinate (Z-Lys-SBzl) (Bachem, Catalog # M-1300), 10 mM stock in DMSO
  • 96 well Clear Plate (Costar, Catalog #  92592)
  • 5,5’-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) (Sigma, Catalog # D-8130)
  • Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Activate rhEnterokinase with Thermolysin.
    1. Dilute rhEnterokinase to 100 μg/mL in Assay Buffer.
    2. Dilute Thermolysin to 3.16 μg/mL in Assay buffer.
    3. Mix equal volumes of diluted rhEnterokinase and Thermolysin.
    4. Incubate at 37 °C for 30 minutes.
    5. Stop the reaction by adding an equal volume of 20 mM 1,10 Phenanthroline to the reaction tube.
  2. Dilute rhEnterokinase to 0.1 μg/mL in Assay Buffer.
  3. Dilute Substrate to 200 μM in Assay Buffer with 200 μM of DTNB.
  4. Load in a 96 well clear plate 50 μL of the diluted rhEnterokinase. For a Substrate Blank load 50 μL of the Assay Buffer.
  5. Start the reaction by adding 50 μL of the Substrate/DTNB mixture to wells.
  6. Read in kinetic mode for 5 minutes at an absorbance of 405 nm.
  7. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

 Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/M
ext. coeff** (M-1cm-1) x path corr.*** (cm) x amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank

     **Using the extinction coefficient 13260 M-1cm-1

     ***Using the path correction 0.32 cm

     Note: the output of many spectrophotometers is in mOD

Per Well:
  • rhEnterokinase: 0.005 μg
  • DTNB: 100 μM
  • Substrate: 100 μM

Background: Enteropeptidase/Enterokinase

EK initiates activation of pancreatic proteases by converting trypsinogen to trypsin, which in turn activates chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidases and elastases. Located in intestinal brush border, it is a disulfide bond linked dimer of the heavy and light chains, which are derived from the same single-chain precursor. The multidomain‑containing the heavy chain consists of a short cytoplamic tail, a transmembrane, a SEA, a SRCR, a MAM, two CUB and two LDL-receptor class A domains. The light chain contains the catalytic domain of trypsin-like serine proteases. The purified recombinant human EK corresponds to the single-chain form starting at the end of the transmembrane domain.
