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, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.05% (w/v) Brij-35, pH 7.5 (TCNB)
- Recombinant Human Carboxypeptidase A2/CPA2 (rhCPA2) (Catalog # 2896-ZN)
- Trypsin (Sigma, Catalog # T-1426)
- Substrate: Ac-Phe-Thiaphe-OH (Peptides International, Catalog # STP-3621-PI),10 mM stock in DMSO
- 5,5’-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), (Sigma, Catalog # D-8130) 10 mM stock in DMSO
- 96 well clear plate (Costar, Catalog # 92592)
- Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Dilute rhCPA2 to 100 µg/mL with 1.0 µg/mL Trypsin in Assay Buffer.
- Incubate at room temperature for 60 minutes.
- Dilute active rhCPA2 to 0.1 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
- Combine equal volumes of 10 mM Substrate and 10 mM DTNB. Then, dilute this mixture to 200 μM Substrate, 200 μM DTNB with Assay Buffer.
- Load 50 µL of the 0.1 µg/mL rhCPA2 into microplate. Include a Substrate Blank with 50 µL of Assay Buffer in place of rhCPA2.
- Start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate into wells.
- Read in kinetic mode for 5 minutes at an absorbance of 405 nm.
- Calculate specific activity using the following formula:
|
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = |
Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/M |
| 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 0.32 cm
Note: the output of many spectrophotometers is in mOD Per Well:
- rhCPA2: 0.005 µg
- Substrate: 100 µM
- DTNB: 100 µM
Reconstitution Calculator
Background: Carboxypeptidase A2/CPA2
Carboxypeptidase A2 encoded by the CPA2 gene cleaves the C-terminal amide or ester bond of peptides that have a free C-terminal carboxyl group (1). It prefers the C-terminal residues with aromatic side chains including Phe, Tyr, and Trp. The deduced amino acid sequence of human CPA2 consists of a signal peptide (residues 1 to 16), a pro region (residues 17 to 112), and a mature chain (residues 113 to 417). The purified rhCPA2 corresponds to the pro form, which can be activated and assayed under the conditions described in the Activity Assay Protocol.
