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: R-Spondin 1
R-Spondin 1 (RSPO1), also known as Cristin 3, is a 27 kDa secreted protein in the R-Spondin family of Wnt/ beta -catenin signaling regulators (1). These proteins contain two adjacent cysteine-rich furin-like domains followed by a thrombospondin (TSP-1) motif and a region rich in basic residues. Mature human R-Spondin 1 shares 87% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat R-Spondin 1 (2). Alternative splicing generates additional isoforms that have a substituted N-terminus or lack the TSP-1 domain. R-Spondin 1 enhances canonical Wnt/ beta -catenin signaling by competing with the Wnt antagonist Dkk-1, binding to Frizzled-8, Kremen, LRP-6, Lgr4, Lgr5, and Lgr6, and enhancing cell surface availability of Wnt receptors (3-11). R-Spondin 1 functions in dorsal neural tube development (12) as well as male and female germ cell development (7, 10, 13). It also induces bone formation (6), intestinal crypt cell proliferation (14), angiogenesis (7, 15), and insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells (11). Interest in R-Spondin 1 as a cell culture supplement has grown with the expansion of the organoid field. R-Spondin 1 is widely used in organoid cell culture workflows as a vital component that promotes both growth and survival of 3D organoids (16). Over the last several years, the understanding of the regulatory mechanisms and functional roles of RSPOs in many biological contexts has increased. Particularly, because a leucine-rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5), a stem cell marker originally identified as a marker for intestinal stem cells, and two closely related proteins, LGR4 and LGR6, were identified as cognate receptors for RSPOs, significant research progress has been made in understanding the functional roles of RSPO/LGR signaling in stem cell biology (17).
