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.

Background: EphA4
EphA4, also known as Hek8, Tyro1, and Sek, is a 120 ‑ 130 kDa glycosylated member of the Eph family of transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases (1, 2). The A and B classes of Eph proteins are distinguished by Ephrin ligand binding preference but have a common structural organization. EphA4 is unusual in its ability to be activated by both Ephrin-A and -B molecules, although its interactions with Ephrin-B2 and -B3 are weaker than with Ephrin-A ligands (3, 4). Eph-Ephrin interactions are widely involved in the regulation of cell migration, tissue morphogenesis, and cancer progression. The 528 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) of human EphA4 contains an N-terminal Ephrin binding region, a cysteine-rich region, and two fibronectin type III domains (FnIII). The 417 aa cytoplasmic domain contains the tyrosine kinase domain and a sterile alpha motif (SAM) (5). Within the ECD, human EphA4 shares 98% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat EphA4. EphA4 is activated by interactions with Ephrin ligands, triggering a repulsive effect on neurite outgrowth (6, 7). This function is important for the accurate guidance and pathfinding of axons in the spiral ganglion of the cochlea, the anterior commissure, and the corticospinal tract (6 ‑ 8). Neuronal EphA4 interactions with astrocyte‑expressed Ephrins also plays a critical role in long term potentiation by regulating hippocampal neuron dendrite arborization, spine maturation, and function (9 - 11). The up‑regulation of EphA4 in gastric carcinoma is negatively correlated with patient survival (12). In glioma, EphA4 associates with FGF R1, and this enhances FGF basic-induced tumor cell migration (13). EphA4 is also involved in morphogenesis of the thymic epithelium and T cell development (14).
