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, 250 mM NaCl, pH 7.5
  • Recombinant Human Glyoxalase II (rhGlyoxalase II) (Catalog # 5944-GO)
  • Substrate: S-Lactoylglutathione (Sigma, Catalog # L7140), 100 mM stock in deionized water
  • 5, 5’-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) (Sigma, Catalog # D8130), 10 mM stock in DMSO
  • 96-well Clear Plate (Costar, Catalog # 92592)
  • Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhGlyoxalase II to 0.4 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Substrate to 2 mM in Assay Buffer with 400 µM DTNB to form Substrate Mixture.
  3. Load 50 µL of 0.4 ng/µL rhGlyoxalase II into a plate and start the reaction by loading 50 µL of Substrate Mixture. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL of Assay Buffer and 50 µL of Substrate Mixture.
  4. Read at 405 nm (absorbance) in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  5. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/mol
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 0.320 cm
     Note: the output of many spectrophotometers is in mOD. Per Well:
  • rhGlyoxalase II: 0.020 µg
  • S-Lactoylglutathione: 1 mM
  • DTNB: 200 µM

Background: Glyoxalase II

The glyoxalase system consists of two enzymes, Glyoxalase I and Glyoxalase II. The purpose of the glyoxalase system is to detoxify alpha -ketoaldehydes, particularly methylglyoxal, a by-product of glycolysis (1). Glyoxalase II catalyzes the hydrolysis of S-lactoylglutathione, the product of the glyoxalase I reaction, to glutathione and lactate (2). Glyoxalase II exists as two isoforms, one cytosolic and one mitochondrial (3). The enzyme is believed to be important for the response of cells to stress (4).
