Analysis
Product Datasheets
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: CEACAM-16
Carcinoembryonic Antigen-related Cell Adhesion Molecule 16 (CEACAM-16), or CEAL2, is part of the CEA protein family consisting of CEACAMs and the pregnancy‑specific glycoproteins (PSGs). Both CEACAM and PSG molecules have been identified in humans and belong to the much larger glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily (1, 2). Unique to the CEA family, CEACAM-16 is a secreted molecule lacking a recognizable transmembrane domain or GPI anchor (3). Mature human CEACAM-16 is 405 amino acids (aa), containing 2 IgC2-like domains and 2 IgV-like domains. CEACAM-16 is one of only five conserved CEACAMs among mice, rats, and humans (2). Mature human CEACAM-16 shares 90% and 89% aa identity with mouse and rat CEACAM‑16, respectively. Originally discovered as a biomarker for colorectal cancer (4), CEACAMs have now been associated with numerous intracellular signaling processes including cell adhesion, cell growth, recognition and differentiation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis (5-7). CEACAM-16 is specifically expressed in the inner ear and has been shown to play a critical role in hearing. CEACAM-16 has been identified as a binding partner for alpha tectorin and specific mutations in CEACAM-16 have been linked to autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness (ADNSHL) (3, 8).
