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
  • Activation Buffer: 0.1 M Tris, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.05 % Brij-35, pH 8.0
  • Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, pH 9.0
  • Recombinant Human Hepsin (rhHepsin) (Catalog # 4776-SE)
  • Fluorogenic Peptide Substrate: BOC-Gln-Arg-Arg-AMC (Bachem, Catalog # I-1655), 5 mM stock in 50:50 DMSO:Methanol
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhHepsin to 100 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  2. Incubate at 37 °C for 24 hours.
  3. Dilute activated rhHepsin to 0.2 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  4. Dilute Substrate to 200 µM in Assay Buffer.
  5. Load 50 µL of the 0.2 ng/µL rhHepsin in a black well plate and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate.
  6. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 460 nm (top read), respectively in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  7. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)
amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank

     **Derived using calibration standard 7-Amino, 4-Methyl Coumarin (AMC) (Sigma, Catalog # A-9891).

Per Well:
  • rhHepsin: 0.010 µg
  • Substrate: 100 µM

Background: Hepsin

Hepsin, also known as TMPRSS1, is a Type II membrane protein with an extracellular serine protease domain (1). It is most highly expressed in liver, but is also present in many other tissues, notably lung, kidney, and skeletal muscle (2). A soluble form of Hepsin lacking the transmembrane domain has been identified (3). Hepsin is capable of activating Factor VII, and may initiate blood coagulation at the cell surface (4). Hepsin is overexpressed in various human tumors, including prostate (5), and is considered to be a biomarker for prostate cancer (6). Recombinant human Hepsin was expressed as a secreted, soluble protein lacking its cytosolic and transmembrane domains. The D161E and R162K mutations were introduced into the prosequence to improve expression of the recombinant human Hepsin.
