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.

Background: Follistatin-like 5/FSTL5

Follistatin-like 5 (FSTL5) is a secreted 94 kDa (predicted) member of the SPARC protein family (1). In its N-terminal half, FSTL5 contains a Kazal-like domain, two EF-hand domains, and two Ig-like domains. Mature mouse FSTL5 shares 91% and 97% amino acid sequence identity with human and rat FSTL5, respectively. FSTL5 is expressed in the cartilage and tendon of developing digits and the shafts of long bones (2). In the brain it is expressed in the olfactory bulb, CA3 area of the hippocampus, and granule cell layer of the cerebellum (3). FSTL5 inhibits the proliferation and promotes the apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells (4). Its expression in medulloblastoma and downregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma are associated with poor prognosis (4, 5).
