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: Neuroligin 4Y/NLGN4Y
Neuroligin 4 (NLGN4, NL4 or NL4X) is a type I transmembrane molecule in the type-B carboxyesterase/lipase family of proteins. Neuroligins are postsynaptically expressed on neurons and initiate excitatory presynapse maturation through binding to select isoforms of b-neurexin (1). Human NLGN4 maps to the X-chromosome and shares 98% aa identity with the Y-chromosome-encoded NLGN4Y (2). Mature human NLGN4Y consists of a 633 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 21 aa transmembrane domain and a 119 aa cytoplasmic tail. It is expressed in the frontal cortex, temporal cortex, occipital cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum, and spinal cord (3, 4). The ECD possesses a nonfunctional esterase homology domain through which neuroligins, except for NLGN2, interact with neurexins (5). Alternative splicing of NLGN4Y generates additional isoforms with variable N-terminal deletions and/or insertions and truncations within the ECD. NLGNs 3, 4, and 4Y bind to the intracellular adaptor protein Syntrophin-g2 (6). Mutations of NLGN4 but not NLGN4Y are associated with rare cases of autism and Asperger or Tourette syndromes (4, 7-12).
