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.

Reconstitution Calculator
Background: Spinesin
Spinesin, encoded by the TMPRSS5 gene, is a member of type II transmembrane serine proteases (TTSPs) (1). Human Spinesin contains the following structural domains: a short N-terminal cytoplasmic tail (amino acid residues 1-49), a transmembrane domain (residues 50-70), a stem region and a serine protease domain (residues 71-457) (2). The domain structure of Spinesin is common to other TTSPs, many of which have additional domains. The stem region of Spinesin contains a scavenger receptor-like domain. The ectodomain of human Spinesin (residues 71-457) was expressed and purified as a single chain pro-enzyme. The deduced amino acid sequence contains a Leu instead of a Phe residue at position 369; the former is identical to the mouse protein (3, 4). The pro-enzyme can be activated and the resulting enzyme activity can be measured as described in the Activity Assay Protocol.
