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.

Reconstitution Calculator

Background: Coagulation Factor XIV/Protein C

Protein C is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease synthesized in the liver as a single-chain precursor, which is then proteolytically processed to two disulfide-linked chains (1). The light chain consists of a Gla (gamma-carboxy-glutamate) domain and two EGF-like domains. The heavy chain consists of an activation peptide (aa 199‑212) and serine protease domain (aa 213‑449). Physiologically, Protein C is converted to the active form by thrombin, which releases the activation peptide. Protein C plays a key role in anticoagulation, cleaving factors VIIIa and Va to inactivate them. This anticoagulation activity can be enhanced by a presence of a cofactor such as protein S. In hereditary thrombophilia, Protein C deficiency is caused by a genetic mutation that affects Protein C activity. A severe recessive form may result in massive thrombosis fatal to patient.
