Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

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.

What formulation is right for me?

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: Tau

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein expressed primarily in neurons.  Carboxy-terminal domains of Tau associate with and stabilize microtubule structure, while other domains bind to the plasma membrane.  Abnormal Tau phosphorylation may result in the self-assembly of tangles of paired helical and/or straight filaments, which are involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.  Properly folded Tau is highly soluble, but when the protein becomes misfolded it forms insoluble aggregates that can damage cytoplasmic functions, interfere with axonal transport and ultimately lead to cell death.  There are multiple forms of Tau. The product is a 383 amino acid isoform known as "0N4R," "Isoform Tau-D" or "Tau 383" and is referenced in UniProt as P10636-6.

FAQs

  1. Does Recombinant Human Tau 383 (0N4R) Protein, CF (Catalog # SP-499) contain a Caspase-3 cleaved form?

    • The Tau protein can get cleaved by the enzyme Caspase-3 after the amino acid residues DEVD or DMVD. The Tau 383 isoform does contain that sequence of residues ending at aa363. However, SP-499 is raised in E. coli, which does not naturally express Caspase-3. Therefore, we would not expect the cleaved form of Tau 383 to be present in SP-499.
