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: 12.5 mM Tris, 75 mM NaCl, pH 7.5
Recombinant Human Carbonic Anhydrase XIV/CA14 (rhCA14) (Catalog # 2195-CA)
Substrate: 4-Nitrophenyl Acetate (4-NPA) (Sigma, Catalog # N8130), 100 mM stock in acetone
96-well Clear Plate (Costar, Catalog # 92592)
Plate reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent

Dilute rhCA14 to 8 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
Dilute Substrate to 2 mM in Assay Buffer.
In a plate, load 50 µL of 8 ng/µL rhCA14, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 2 mM Substrate to wells.
Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 2 mM Substrate.
Read absorbance at wavelength of 400 nm (bottom read) in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
Calculate specific activity:

Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =	Adjusted V_max* (OD/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/OD)
	amount of enzyme (µg)

*Adjusted for Substrate Blank
**Derived using calibration standard 4-Nitrophenol (Sigma, Catalog # 241326).

Per Well:

rhCA14: 0.4 µg
Substrate: 1 mM

Reconstitution Calculator

Background: Carbonic Anhydrase XIV/CA14

Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the reversible reaction of CO₂ + H₂O = HCO₃^- + H⁺, which is fundamental to many processes such as respiration, renal tubular acidification and bone resorption (1). Topics in a CA meeting (6^th International Conference on the CAs, June 20‑25, 2003, Slovakia) ranged from the use of CAs as markers for tumor and hypoxia in the clinic, as anutritional supplement in milk, and as a tool for CO₂ removal and mosquito control in industry. CA14 is a type I membrane enzyme highly expressed in all parts of the central nervous system with lower expression in adult liver, heart, small intestine, colon, kidney, urinary bladder, and skeletal muscle (2).
