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.

Assay Procedure
- Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 0.15 M NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.01% (w/v) Brij 35, pH 8.5
- Recombinant Human Active Coagulation Factor XIV/Protein C (rhPROC) (Catalog # 4998-SE)
- Substrate: Boc-Val-Pro-Arg-AMC (Catalog # ES011)
- F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
- Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Dilute rhPROC to 2 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
- Dilute Substrate to 1 mM in Assay Buffer.
- Load into plate 50 µL of 2 ng/µL rhPROC, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 1 mM Substrate. As a Substrate Blank combine 50 µL of 1 mM Substrate and 50 µL of Assay Buffer.
- Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 460 nm (top read), respectively in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
- 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).
- rhPROC: 0.1 µg
- Substrate: 500 μM
Reconstitution Calculator
Background: Coagulation Factor XIV/Protein C
Protein C (PROC) is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease synthesized in liver as a single-chain precursor (1). The N-terminus consists of a signal peptide (aa 1-32) and a propeptide (aa 33-42). The mature chain (aa 43-461) is converted to two disulfide-linked chains (light: aa 43-199 and heavy: 200‑461) and both forms are inactive. The light chain consists of Gla (gamma-carboxy-glutamate) domain and two EGF-like domains. The heavy chain consists of an activation peptide (aa 200‑211) and serine protease domain (aa 212-450). Present in plasma at 3 to 5 mg/L, PROC plays a key role in anticoagulation. Physiologically, the inactive forms of PROC are converted to the active form by thrombin, which releases the activation peptide. The active PROC cleaves factors VIIIa and Va to inactivate them. This anticoagulation activity can be enhanced by a presence of a cofactor such as Protein S. In hereditary thrombophilia, PROC deficiency is caused by a genetic mutation which affects PROC activity. A severe recessive form may result in massive thrombosis fatal to patient.
